Why are there ads all the time whenever we post something?

Like, I'm genuinely asking why whenever you post something? The first comment is either the moderator or an ad, like there is a lot of ADS in here..

NymVPN <> Brave Adblocker

Built on Brave's open source engine, one of the most comprehensive and consistently maintained block lists in the industry, it works at the DNS level. That means it blocks ads, trackers and malicious domains across every app on your device, not just your browser. No extension required. Toggle it on and it works immediately.

This week Google announced it is disabling real adblockers in Chrome 149. The company that makes the vast majority of its revenue from advertising is removing the tool that blocks those ads from the browser used by 65% of the internet.

The timing is worth noting.

Are there any good free alternative apps to YouTube - for iOS?

YouTube is completely ruined with ads now. I got an ad DURING a YouTuber talking about his sponsor. We’ve hit ‘ad-ception’. Now it’s mandatory to sign in to watch videos.

Are there any free alternatives to YouTube?

Time to switch

Well, Google are doing this thing of chasing away people from their ecosystem everyday. I get the point that they make money from ads. But I think they're doing too much forcing it on people, especially in a net where malvertising is somewhat a normal practice. What sense would it make for someone who can't properly browse the net because 60% of real time view is made up of ads, or even pop-ups consisting of fake cancels or no button being yes as well. Guess they care more about revenue that user experience these days smh. submitted by /u/gregsanay [link] [comments]

Full write-up: MalExt Sentry - Malicious Browser Extension Tracker

Two Chrome extensions presenting as adblockers also intercept every prompt and response on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Meta AI, exfiltrating them to operator-controlled servers.

They also check whether you're a paid user on 5 of the 8 platforms
(ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini).

Both share the same capture engine, payload format, and partnerId.

Two brands, one operation.
