These articles suck, in that they want me to disable my ad blocker to read an article about how ads can now do malicious stuff by just being viewed. Then there is no info as to what it’s doing or how it’s doing whatever malicious things it claims, let alone the OS this affects.
That's when I use my ad blocker to zap the nagging. I ought to see if there's some list to subscribe to to circumvent those automatically...
