About Saffron Guru – Ad and Scam Pop-up Blocker

Saffron Guru Ad and Scam Pop-up Blocker keeps your browsing clean, fast and safe. It blocks annoying ads, hidden trackers, fake virus warnings and dangerous websites before they can reach you. It is built by Saffron Guru LLC, a technical support and online protection company that has helped home users and small businesses since 2016. WHAT IT PROTECTS YOU FROM - Ads and trackers Blocks advertisements, pop-under windows and tracking scripts on the websites you visit. Pages load faster and use less data. - Scam pop-ups Stops pages that try to open unwanted windows, flood you with notification requests, or trap you with fake "your computer is infected, call this number" messages. - Phishing and fake websites Recognizes look-alike addresses that imitate well-known brands, such as a bank or an email provider, and blocks them before the page opens. It also uses public lists of known malware and phishing websites, which are refreshed automatically every 6 hours. - Remote access warning Scammers often ask people to open a remote access website so they can take control of the computer. When you open one of these websites, the extension shows a clear warning and asks you to stop and think before you continue. If you are a Saffron Guru client and our technician asked you to open the website, you can continue safely. EASY TO USE - Works right after installation. No account and no setup needed. - Choose Basic, Balanced or Aggressive protection with one click. - Allow ads on any website you want to support with the whitelist button. - See a live count of what is blocked on the page you are viewing. - See lifetime totals for ads, trackers, threats, scams, phishing and data saved. These numbers are kept permanently and only reset when you choose to reset them. - Receive an optional short summary every few days that shows what was blocked for you. You can turn it off at any time. - Large, clear text designed to be easy to read for everyone. EXTRA PROTECTION (OPTIONAL) Open Advanced Settings inside the extension and turn on the extra protection you want. Once turned on, the extension will also: - Block browser fingerprinting, a hidden method some websites use to identify and follow you - Block cryptocurrency mining scripts that secretly use your computer's power - Block notification spam from websites that keep asking to send you alerts - Block social media trackers that follow you across other websites YOUR PRIVACY We do not collect, sell or share your personal information or your browsing history. Your settings and counters are stored only in your own browser. The lists of dangerous websites are downloaded from public security sources, and no information about you is sent when they are downloaded.
