I actually checked the activities and I can confirm that it doesn't load any adware/malware on any tabs you have open. If it was the case before then Google should have claimed the extension from this dev and made it a feature into Chrome for breaking TOS.
This doesn't work at all like it claims. I don't know why people keep voting it high stars while saying it doesn't work.
I have used this for a while, only to realise that it effectively hijacks your Google search results with unwanted ads, and they link to unsafe sites. I only saw this due to the removal of software that had been silently blocking this extensions activity as malicious. This extension is malware by any definition- DO NOT INSTALL IT! The developer is clearly a deceitful scumbag.
