The counter measures ad elements hidden on the page and confirmed video skips. Network requests are excluded. A zero on the badge means no measured cleanup on that page so far. Can I use more than one regional list? Yes. Enable several lists together, or search for a region and switch on just its list. For Bangladesh and India, look for IndianList. Can I pause protection for just one website? Yes. Open the website controls in the popup and pause automatic protection for that domain. Your permanent custom blocks continue to apply. Do I need to record my browsing for statistics? No. Statistics use local aggregate counts. The optional privacy permission is for additional browser controls.
