UBlock Origin Lite is freaking me out..

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with it.

it just has a MASSIVE number of blocked requests even while being idle in the search bar.

it's averaging 5-15 and sometimes 22-83!

i'm not a very very expert guy but what the heck is that number??

and like are these adware? malware? anyware?

also gotta question, does that number mean that there's something wrong with my chrome (yes CHROME) and i need to reinstall it? or it's normal and there's nothing to worry about?

if they were indeed a (insertanykindofword)ware, how do i make sure that i was actually safe before i installed UBlock? and how can i reduce that amount?? (cuz it's just too much)

Is my bitdefender delusional?

Hi! Bitdefender keeps sending weird notification.

For example: Chrome wanted to make a connection with what looks like a tracker site thing (literally had "tracker" in the name). But bitdefender blocked it.

And for the other one: a very random site I don't even know wanted to commit a very horrible crime (phishing).

So, are there actually dangerous and I should hide in a bunker immediately.

Or it's just a glitch and there's nothing to be worried from.

Oh yeah I didn't actually go to these sites.

Bit Defender Shenanigans.

Hello! out of curiousity, what does this even mean?

(Feature: Online Threat Prevention We blocked this phishing page for your protection: [[some random website thing]] Phishing pages attempt to obtain sensitive information such as login credentials or credit card details by disguising as trustworthy entities. The stolen data can be then used for financial gain.)

pretty sure that i didn't go on sketchy links. so i just wanted to know if this is dangerous or just a glitch

there's also this thing too: Feature: Online Threat Prevention [[Chrome]] attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to [[another website but the word "tracker" is in the name]] We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.
