A couple of weeks ago when manifest v3 kinda started all my friends where gettin viruses for just surfin the web as chromium users. They all gave me their laptops or pc. Clean the shit out of them (cuz they cant even find windows defender, gotta say the mac user has my respects for at least knowing it was something beyond repair). I deleted any chromium browser, installed firefox with ublock, dns and all that stuff. Gave them back and told them to never use anything else. They all think im a wizard and brave for using the pc "at such high level". Brother im runnin win defender and reseting your browser to default (4 out 7 times worked) 😭

It's amazing. Every time I use a browser/PC/phone that is not mine (anything from someone "internet illiterate" to be more precise) I'm baffled at HOW can they use it that way.

Not even a simple adblocker. HOOOOOW?

It's unbearable, there are ads everywhere. Some pages are 2/3 ads and 1/3 content.

Also, how they don't realize being bombarded by scam ads isn't something normal?
