If you're using Adblock, Adblock Plus or uBlock, you may want to consider deleting it until a patch has been released because hackers can exploit it to remotely inject arbitrary code into web pages you visit online.
I'm uncertain if a fix it live yet but I'm sure they're doing their best to roll out a patch, if not already.
The culprit of the exploit is a new filter option included in the newer versions of the ad blocking software:

Source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/adblock-plus-filters-can-be-abused-by-hackers-to-execute-malware/ZdNet said:An exploit has been uncovered in the filter systems of Adblock, Adblock Plus, and uBlock which may permit attackers to remotely inject arbitrary code into web pages.
Security researcher Armin Sebastian said in a blog post on Monday that the issue lies within version 3.2 of the Adblock Plus software which introduced a new filter option for rewriting requests in 2018.
This feature, also adopted by AdBlock and uBlock, is vulnerable to a security flaw deemed "trivial" to exploit by Sebastian, and the issue could potentially be leveraged in attacks including the theft of online credentials, session tampering, or page redirection.
