Fake uBlock Origin for Google chrome (Attention!).

Google Chrome users, please pay attention!
There are two extensions that exist in Google Chrome store, which are named uBlockOrigin and uBlock Origin 2016, and came from site ditepi_com. These extensions are malware programs, which only add link for this site in Google services, and more likely perform some more malware actions.
Also there are some difficulties with removing them:

This is a malicious extension that masquerades as uBlock Origin; be sure to report this for abuse.

Please be careful and before installing pay attention to extensions author and rating.

Do not install uBlockOrigin.

The Ublock extension is okay to use.  And it work it does; very well without a hitch too.

Adobe and their Flash sucks. People are abusing the use of the Flash plugin. Ublock Extension will block this self launching flash videos; problem solved.

Some pages I  visit Ublock "block count" is 20 items;  on "just one page".

5* for Ublock in my opinion !


No Longer Using Q4OS

Ublock is the older version of uBlockOrigin. Please read screenshot attached. The main Ublock developer now develop uBlockOrigin. I use uBlockOrigin for a long time, and it works perfectly!
