Cyber criminals purchase advertisements that appear within internet search results using a domain that is similar to an actual business or service. When a user searches for that business or service, these advertisements appear at the very top of search results with minimum distinction between an advertisement and an actual search result. These advertisements link to a webpage that looks identical to the impersonated business’s official webpage.
In tips section:
Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches. Most internet browsers allow a user to add extensions, including extensions that block advertisements. These ad blockers can be turned on and off within a browser to permit advertisements on certain websites while blocking advertisements on others.
Im confused, would anyone think the “remove ads” button is anything other than a paid subscription? Am I misunderstanding?
We are conditioned to know that “remove ads” doesn’t actually remove ads, but directs to a page to sell subscriptions (that also, when bought, removes ads).
That’s what he means
Ah, fair. Not trying to be a dick or controntational with what im about to say, but thats kinda just how capitalism works. Imo its so much worse that we have been conditioned to think 40 hour work weeks are normal and that you have to work to survive. Ugh I want capitalism to collapse so bad :(
