Why is uBlock Origin for Chromium download blocked by Bitdefender?

squibbon

Happens on Chromium, Chrome and Microsoft Edge (haven't tried Vivaldi yet). I try to download uBlock Origin and the download is blocked by Bitdefender as potential malware. Is there any way to add uBlock Origin as an exception in Bitdefender?

I have Bitdefender Total Security installed on my system with uBlock Origin installed on google chrome & microsoft edge and never faced any issue.

Can you share the image of bitdefender blocking the download & installation of uBlock Origin extension on your browser.

Below is the virustotal link of the latest version of uBlock Origin extension for google chrome with no detection by any vendor

Additionally, extension cannot be set as exceptions.
