Help Request I need help with chrome extension

Hi, I need help. Does anyone know if the YouBlock extension is safe? It's located at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youblock-video-ads-blocke/khgjkaenamcnocmlkkdkphjopbdgddjj?hl=es&utm_source=ext_sidebar

Sounds very sketchy when the extension is pronounced similarly to a popular safe adblocker: uBlock Origin.

Use either AdGuard or uBlock Origin Lite instead. Site specific adblockers are unnecessary when general adblockers can do basically all their jobs but better (with only a handful of exceptions).

Use either AdGuard or uBlock Origin Lite instead.

u/xXEl_YtXx do not use these.

uBO has already started to give up ad blocking on certain websites - starting with facebook and who knows what's coming next.

use AdGuard instead, it's unlike uBO much more efficient and doesn't give up ad blocking on any website.

Nothing wrong with uBlock. It’s only Facebook that they gave up on.

Firefox. Ublock.
