      It depends on the browser you are using. I saw something recently that Google is working on a way to cripple/make non-functional existing adblockers in a future release of any Chromium based browser. I don't remember the details, but I believe it had to do with moving to a new version of some API. I also think it was intended to be released before the end of the year. I think, because it is not Chromium based, that Firefox was one browser mentioned that would not be affected.

      @@wildbill4496 That's Manifest V3. And yes, Firefox is immune because it is not Chromium based. The entire point of Google's implementation of V3 is to remove adblockers like on their Android browser (and again, Firefox on android does allow addons including adblockers).
      I'm sure adblockers will (if they havne't already) find a way around V3, but Google's priorities should be very clear and I would not suggest a Chromium based browser to anyone.

      To get malware without downloading anything requires a zero day vulnerability worth many millions. Such vulnerabilities are not used on normal every day people.

    Corporations need to stop fighting adblockers if they allow ads that are literal malware links. Even if they don't knowingly allow it, malware ads getting through at all is unacceptable and proof that the average home user should view adblockers as a necessity.

    The logical solution to make people disable adblock is make the site less bad by default
    Instead they double down or even triple down.

      Bing lists downloads for official sites as a big download button upon a search so the odds are dramatically lowered. Getting ads before the official site is a problem. Quality has really taken a second place on all engines but google is especially bad. Try to search any basic question, you no longer get answers like you used to, you get ai articles filled with ads

    I feel much safer not because I use Linux... But because I use Ublock Origin. Yes, I know the Internet is large financed by add, but many of those ads are malicious and it's just good security to block them, regardless of the OS.
    If Google don't want people to use adblockers, perhaps they should vet the ads better, or at least make so if you search for a specific product then the first thing that appear will be the link to that products website, and not an ad.

      1. Yes

Its common knowledge in this scene, there are bad authors of course so you should normally go thru the most trusted sources during your search (this doesn't mean a reputable source could go rogue or bad in the future like its happened before)

    • @pacicidal
      @pacicidal 5 месяцев назад +2

      If you're running Windows 10 or 11, you don't really need anything more than Windows Defender. Generally speaking, as long as you keep the virus definitions fully up to date, and know not to click on suspicious links or download any potentially dangerous files, you should be fine.
      Prior to Windows 10, it was usually necessary to install a separate anti-malware software, but Windows Defender has become functional enough that having another anti-malware running can actually just slow down your system, rather than be of any help.

I would recommend getting DefenderUI to make windows defender not easy to bypass and actually able to catch basic ransomware, its not an AV it configures settings that already exist in defender but for some unknown reason are not accessible from its UI. In the modern day AV programs do not impact your system in any notable way unless you are running a manual scan (This channel has a vid testing the performance impact).
      If you wanna get a third party AV then look at the tests on this channel and decide.
