Anyone know of a reliable and trustworthy ad blocker for Chrome? Used to have Ublock but that extension is now redirecting all most of my searches to Bing ... so yeah, fuck that!

    I use Adblock plus and ghostery and 3 others I usually forget about. Yeah it's overkill but at least I don't have any ads or pop up at all 😂

    Weird.... All my searches with Ublock origin go to Google still. 

     

    Have you checked Chrome's default search engine?

    chrome://settings/

    Do you mean uBlock or uBlock Origin? Because I use Origin and that hasn't fucked with my search settings.

    I've been using Adblock Plus for years, never had a problem with 'em.

     

    Pretty reliable. Uncertain about trustworthiness, but they claim they don't collect any user info.

    yup ;

    The redirect isn't 100%, but it completely stops if I disable ublock origin.

    Went with Adblock Plus, hasn't had any issues for now. Not sure why ublock origin started redirecting my searches.

    I'm getting charming-tabs.com redirects, from a quick search, it's usually related to malware or an adblock extension, from multiple scans, there's no malwares, then I tested each extensions, only one I had redirects was when ublock origin was enabled, even when it was the only one enabled. I'm surprised it has that because those redirects are usually found on malicious adblockers only.

    I'd run MalwareBytes then, just in case.

    by "multiple", I meant different softwares ;)

    It's not a popup, it's a redirect (I do a search in the URL bar, it starts loading Google, then quickly switch the URL to charming-tabs.com, and ends on Bing with the search result).

     

    I disabled ALL extensions, including the Google ones (like Google docs), and the only time I'm getting redirections, is when ublock origin is enabled. Even Edge Chromium is not redirecting me to Bing ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I use Adblock Plus and it works great for me.

    simple reinstall will fix it honestly.

    uBlock Origin and Origin Extra should not redirect searches to an alternative search engine (one that is different from what is specified in your browser settings). I'd have Google Chrome run a clean up operation if I were you.
