Perfeita para segurança total junto com antivírus. Superou expectativas em minhas máquinas não alterou nada em desempenho do sistema e de softwares.

Slowed my firefox down so much that it caused a halt in loading 50 tabs. I don't think this addon understands the difference between good websites and bad ones. It blocks 90% or more of the internet.
