Classic clickbait tactics. That was intentional, it made you click the link.
- recursive 4y agoI'm confused about the confusion. This is probably one of the most common ways people obtain software.
- teach 4y agoI've been Linux-only on the desktop since 2003. I was also confused about the post. People have different experiences!
- II2II 4y agoI agree, though probably for a different reason. The reality is that one always had to be careful when following download links from any search engine. The reasons may have changed with time and the amount of risk may ebb and flow, but it was always best to verify the source of the download in order to reduce the likelihood of an unwanted payload. Headlines that imply this is new or unique to a particular search engine are dishonest.
