AVAST Browser addons and Adblocker
« on: January 31, 2020, 12:02:54 PM »
I used avast many years ago, and many things have changed rapidly,  Recently I realized that some antivirus like Kaspersky have the ability to block adblockers and anti-trackers from browsers.  I was testing my new method of bypassing adblockers at
https://www.nmmapper.com and it worked but I realized that when I logged in on a computer with Kaspersky installed, no ads where displayed, the browser showed Kaspersky  certificate installed, so i guessed it's blocking ads.

Kaspersky  had installed Addons to all my browsers.

So does avast have the same capabilities?

See: This website is insecure.
100% of the trackers on this site could be protecting you from NSA snooping. Tell newtab to fix it.

 Tracking IDs could be sent safely if this site was secure.

 Tracking IDs do not support secure transmission.
