FLoC Block: Prevent FLoC Ad-Targeting on Chrome

FLoC Block is a Chrome extension that aims to protect your privacy by preventing the FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) ad-targeting code from divulging your "cohort id" to websites. FLoC is a new algorithm used by Google Chrome to group users into buckets based on their interests.

If you are using Chrome and want to avoid being tracked by FLoC, this extension provides a simple solution. It works by inserting a script on every page load that removes the FLoC API (document.interestCohort()), ensuring that any website attempting to call that function will encounter an error.

Overall, FLoC Block is a valuable tool for individuals concerned about their online privacy and seeking to prevent FLoC ad-targeting on Chrome.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
