Is ad-ninja.net a scam?

Our automated security review marked ad-ninja.net as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is ad-ninja.net safe to use?

ad-ninja.net currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does ad-ninja.net have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. ad-ninja.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 51 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the ad-ninja.net domain?

ad-ninja.net is 1.1 years old, registered on 6/11/2025 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report ad-ninja.net as clean.

Is ad-ninja.net on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. ad-ninja.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is ad-ninja.net hosted?

ad-ninja.net resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

What do third-party review sites say about ad-ninja.net?

Independent trust-rating sites currently show the following for ad-ninja.net: ScamAdviser: 71/100. Those scores come from user reviews and their own heuristics, so they are worth comparing against our verdict.

These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

The page presents itself as a legitimate free Chrome extension that blocks ads across major platforms. Five separate security sources label the extension and domain as risky, citing hidden ownership, promotion on illegal streaming sites, and requests to read browsing history. The domain is only 1.1 years old, registered through NameCheap with no privacy protection, and carries no positive user reviews on major platforms. An imprint claims a UK address but searches found no formal company registration. The combination of low trust scores, lack of verifiable business presence, and negative security reports outweighs the clean antivirus scan and professional-looking landing page.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site markets AdNinja as a 100% free Chrome extension that blocks ads on TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and other platforms. It lists features such as EasyList filtering, custom whitelisting, and daily updates while claiming no tracking or data sales. The page contains no contact email, phone, or postal address in the main content, though an imprint page lists an address in Pimlico, London and the email info@ad-ninja.net.

Infrastructure

The domain resolves to Cloudflare IP 172.67.166.165 with an abuse score of 0/100 and only two prior abuse reports. SSL is valid and issued by Google Trust Services with 51 days remaining. The page loads external resources from the Chrome Web Store and Cloudflare Insights. No redirects or homoglyph tricks were detected.

Domain History

The domain ad-ninja.net was registered on 2025-06-11 through NameCheap, making it 1.1 years old. The registration shows no privacy protection. No business registration was located in UK company records despite the claimed London address.

Web Reputation

Five independent security sources report the extension as suspicious or low-trust. Botcrawl, Gridinsoft, Scamdoc, Scam-Detector, and a YouTube removal guide all cite risks including broad permission requests and questionable distribution methods. No positive reviews appear on major consumer platforms, and the site has no presence on an independent review aggregator or BBB.

What this means for you

The extension requests permission to read your browsing history and is promoted through channels associated with risky software. Without verifiable company registration or positive independent reviews, the risk of unwanted behavior or data collection remains elevated.
