When did the Pirate Bay become full of malvertising?
When did the Pirate Bay become full of malvertising?
I hadn't been to the Pirate Bay in quite some time. I occasionally pop over to look for old videos. I went today and a big popover for a dubious software upgrade came up. Then, another saying that my system is infected and offering to clean it. That's obviously fake, but it was blocking my access to the user interface so I wasn't able to complete my search. Closed it. That's unfortunate.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you're browsing for torrents without a serious adblocker... why?
Funny how many people think I don't have ad-blockers. I have several.
I mean you're complaining about seeing popup ads on TPB. Sure doesn't sound like you have an ad blocker.
Kolanak going in for the kill.
If you're using a recent version of Chrome, Google has stunted the capabilities of many ad blockers. Suggest using another browser and/or using something that catches this stuff before it gets to your browser like a properly configured pihole. Otherwise, configure your ad blockers more aggressively, especially for sites that are less likely to screen their ads.
You just need one: uBlock Origins.
If you're still seeing ads then the adblocker isn't turned on.
Sounds like you have several pretty fucken useless adblockers, just get 1 that works, ie uBlock origin.
Several adblockers and youre still seeing ads smh
then how are you seeing ads? something smells fishy on your end. we, who use good ad blockers, don't see the shit you described even on fake sites
A misconfigured filter can break uBlock Origin, so make sure your filters aren't broken.
