In Apple's Safari Extensions page : https://extensions.apple.com/

I can see the AdBlock extension software .

https://getadblock.com

Is it safe to install this extension as it can know all safari's activities and I'm afraid of

1Password date to be near another extension ...

Just to be in the safe side...

    I used to use that in Safari without issues, but when AdBlock Plus finally arrived for OS X, I switched it for the one that was more familiar. Neither has ever interfered with the 1Password extension in my hands.

    Remember that your 1Password data are encrypted all the time, except when you call for it, and then only the record you request is unencrypted.

    I had never thought about these extensions in terms of security. I've used AdBlock Plus for many years, even before I escaped Windows for OS X. If there is a reason to think about security, I'b be interested to know what that is.

    It is certainly something to be aware of yeah. I believe each extension is separated from the others but all can read the current page. As with many other areas, care should be always be taken with what you're installing.
