@nikolal @Wetrix Yup. These are imitation extensions. I see this kind of fraud on app stores all the time, even to the point that they use the same or nearly identical logos as the real thing. Thanks to Adguard for finding this.

@Wetrix @nikolal I use both Android and iOS and they are in both stores. I have seen someone get fooled by a fake VPN app on the Apple store that looked like a well known VPN company.

@Limax @nikolal this us true but there's alot more in the Google play store.

Google doesn't care about your privacy. They built there empire on exploiting it.

Apple isn't no saint either but Android has so many hacks and scams it's hard to even keep up with them all.
