Advertising Disclaimer
Last updated . Plain-language disclosure of how this website is paid for and what our content is — and is not.
Informational Purpose Statement
Everything published on safesurfzone.com is intended for general information. Our articles describe a category of browser software and one product within it, so that readers can decide for themselves whether it is worth looking at.
The homepage of this website is a paid advertorial. It is promotional material produced in cooperation with an advertiser, and it is labelled as such at the very top of the page, above the header, before any content is shown. It is not independent journalism, editorial review, consumer advocacy or news reporting, and it should not be read as if it were.
Affiliate Disclosure
In line with the Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose the following clearly and up front:
- safesurfzone.com participates in affiliate and advertising arrangements relating to Total Adblock.
- Links and buttons on our homepage that lead to the featured product are affiliate links, marked in the page's own code with the
sponsoredattribute. - If you follow one of those links and go on to obtain the product, this website may receive compensation from the advertiser or its affiliate network.
- This arrangement is the reason the article exists. We are being paid to promote the product it features.
Compensation Transparency
Compensation is typically calculated as a fixed fee or a share of a referred transaction. It is paid to Red Eye Design, the operator of this website, by the advertiser or the network that manages the campaign.
Being compensated does not change the price you pay. Affiliate arrangements do not add a surcharge, and following a link from this website does not make a product more expensive than reaching it directly.
Compensation does, however, mean this website has a commercial interest in the product being featured. We think readers should know that while they are reading, which is why it is stated on the article itself and not only here.
No Professional Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, medical, tax or professional technical advice, and no reader-publisher relationship is created by your use of the site. Content is written for a general audience and cannot account for any individual's circumstances, device configuration or requirements. Where a decision matters to you, seek advice from a qualified professional.
No Guarantees of Results
We make no promise about what any individual will experience from a browser extension. A content-filtering extension is designed to reduce many common advertising formats on supported websites — it is not designed or able to remove every advertisement on every website.
Actual results depend on factors outside anyone's control here, including the design of each website visited, the browser and its version, other extensions installed, and the settings the user chooses. Features, compatibility, availability and pricing are determined by the product's provider and may change at any time without notice to us.
We do not publish invented statistics, fabricated user counts, unverifiable rankings, countdown timers or artificial scarcity, and we do not represent that any product is guaranteed to work for you.
Third-Party Products and Trademarks
Total Adblock is a third-party product. We do not develop, publish, host, sell or support it, and we are not its agent. Any purchase, subscription, renewal, refund, cancellation or support request is a matter between you and the product's provider, governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy, which you should read before proceeding.
Product names, browser names and logos referenced on this website belong to their respective owners. Their use here identifies the products discussed and does not imply endorsement of this website by those owners.
Independent Research Encouraged
Please do not treat this website as your only source. Before installing any browser extension we encourage you to:
- Read the extension's listing in your own browser's extension store, including the permissions it requests
- Read the provider's own privacy policy and terms, and its current pricing and renewal terms
- Look at independent user reviews and coverage from sources with no commercial interest in the product
- Consider whether the features described actually match the way you browse
It is also worth remembering that advertising funds a great deal of the free content on the web, including many of the sites you may want to keep reading.
Accuracy and Corrections
We make a genuine effort to keep our pages accurate, but details change and errors happen. If you find something on this website that is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will review and correct it.
Contact Information for Questions
