I clicked on something someone posted here, it was about Jacinda, and got a problem.

Was it an Ex-Redditor link? That dude will post a link from anywhere. He gives no fucks...

Yeah, and he's actually been trying to help me fix it but no luck so far.

It's in the 'hot' area here about Jacinda.

Since I last went there I installed some malware and now when I click on that link (Jacinda) I get a 'malware blocked' thing.

Not good, I would hope people here would do better.

What I dislike most are the delayed pop-ups that come on screen ten seconds after you visit a site. When I use my regular browser they are all blocked so that I don't see them, but I sometimes use other browsers in which they are not blocked. Just when you start reading the pop-up blocks the text. It's as if they were deliberately designed to piss us off.

If your on a desktop browser, get the uBlock Origin extension and additionally NoScript/ScriptSafe if you're willing to put in some work to train it. This will make your browsing experience much better and will eliminate popups, ads and other potential security risks associated with various web technologies.

If your on a phone browser, well you're fucked. The best you can do is Brave or Vivaldi.

IIRC the guy is known and has made a public apology for inventing them. Supposed to be used for warnings, etc but someone decided to use them to make money.
