I would prefer https://www.getpaint.net https://www.getpaint.net, if that web site weren't littered with misleading ad units designed to trick people who want to download the Paint.NET software into actually downloading adware.
As it stands, I can't in good conscience tell people to go to that site. Even if the actual Paint.NET software is good, the risk is just too high they'll end up installing something nasty.

- acollins1331 7y agoI don't think the answer of "I need to make money somehow" and then maliciously taking it from others makes it okay. That's like saying it's ok I mug someone because I need some money. Intrusive and tracking ads are bad, even if the person hosting them "needs money".
