crp 770 Posted May 30 blocking ad-blocking returns - https://9to5google.c...se-manifest-v3/ (and yes, i consider this a security matter as well as networking. ask me why.) I'll bite . At work we got infected by a ransomware that got in via malware ad from a normal web site. The malware delivered the package in 2 steps, first a stub and then later a signal to "call home" to get rest of package and start infecting.After installing a lot of ad blockers I noticed that network traffic decreased by 20%, something I confirmed with my own home setup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 10,242 Posted May 30 No big surprise there. I couldn't imagine trying to surf without adblockers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zlim 1,077 Posted May 30 I couldn't imagine trying to surf without adblockers Me either! The other day I happened to look at my uBlockOrigin count (Win 7 Home 32 bit desktop) and just reading my Yahoo email, over 100 ads were blocked. On a small device (7" tablet or 5" phone screen) any ad could be accidentally tapped and send me somewhere I don't wish to go. One of the first things I do on android is install two or more other browsers to try. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
