    ya, using the internet without an adblocker is a security risk because Google enables scams across its services.

    How about they learn to clean house first before shitting on the internet lol.

    incompetent company will do incompetent things.

      I think the FBI recommends the use of ad blockers for personal safety, let me find that link real quick…

        Let’s just go back to the good old days when the web worked without JS. That would remove a massive amount of attack surface. Might seem a bit shit without the interactivity, though.

          Is there any way to make JS safer? E.g. limiting the scope of its access to specific functions (e.g. visual/DOM changes, posting/querying a server only but no local function), or is it just inherently unsafe?
