"Brave warns US Senate & Congress: foreign state actors can use targeted ads to run code on US government computers, exploiting conventional browsers"
Oh, my. I am so scared. And Brave is of course a knight in shining armor ready to protect our shaken foundations.
- 300bps 7y agoI got a virus from an ad on reddit in 2008. It actually does happen, and I've used ad blocking software consistently ever since.
- FpUser 7y agoI am not arguing about possibility of getting virus through ad on browser. My point is that they are using scaremongering in a hope to advance their product. They have no real proof that it is more secure. As for ads I am using adblock for ages. Not that I got a virus from internet, just do not like seeing ads when not asked.
