What is Urban Ad blocker?

"Urban Ad blocker" is a Firefox add-on designed by Urban Cyber Security. It provides its users with an ad-free browsing experience by eliminating native ads, video ads, pop-ups/pop-unders, tab ups, banners and text ads. The extension also enhances security protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of malware, as well as phishing scams. Moreover, it optimizes browsing speeds by reducing bandwidth, download size and server calls through its unique feature of skipping ads during page loading. To provide safe browsing and block unwanted ads, the application accesses and collects certain information. The data is shared in an aggregated, anonymized format with affiliated companies and business partners for commercial use.
