clicked this link on mobile and every page scroll caused another malicious ad redirect (??) there's also a huge bouncing "remove ads" button with an X that opens an advert in the background. can't tell if the ads are on purpose or if the owners have just ticked every ad network box
- nightski 1y agoSorry didn't notice, it was the top google result. I have ublock origin and firefox so I tend not to see many ads.
- joecool1029 1y agoYou're not wrong, but both mullvad's free DNS base filter (here: https://github.com/mullvad/encrypted-dns-profiles https://github.com/mullvad/encrypted-dns-profiles ) and Wipr blocked it on my iphone. Android just use ublock origin with firefox or another variant.
- Spare_account 1y agoGenuine question, if you're willing to indulge me: Why aren't you using ad-blocking of one type or another? (Assumption: You're tech literate, given the audience of this website. So I tend to assume it must be a conscious decision not to use adblocking) I don't browse without it these days.
- bstsb 1y ago> mobile i have ublock origin on my pc and macbook. trying firefox mobile with ublock but it's still habit to open chrome on my phone
- Spare_account 1y agoStrong recommend for Android, Firefox and uBlock Origin I also have these Extensions: ClearURLs Decentraleyes Privacy Badger I still don't care about cookies
- JCattheATM 1y agoPrivacy Badger and UBlock Origin don't work well together, and LocalCDN is better than Decentraleyes
- ghostwords 1y agoNah, Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin do work well together.
- JCattheATM 1y agoYou may think that, but no, they don't - and both authors of both apps state so. What's happening is you are not getting any clear errors so you think that's the case, but you're running an inefficient setup without any doubt.

- JCattheATM 1y agoWow, I apologize, and very interesting! This is some sort of tech version of mansplaining, I guess, lesson learned! I was certain on the PB github or something there was something saying not to use it with uBlock, and likewise on gorhills github, but maybe it was a mandella effect or something. In any case, thanks for the clarification and humbling.
