FBI Recommends Using an Adblocker to Perform Web Searches (ic3.gov)

I already had to adblock APnews after I got served malware... twice.

As I rant about often here, I really hope Google (and other ad networks) lose their blanket protection from accountability over what they serve. Just trusting them to moderate in good faith is not working.

Note that the submitted link is the primary source for several earlier HN submissions, notably:

The FBI now recommends using an ad blocker when searching the web (<https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/fbi-recommends-ad-blocker-on...>) 4 hours ago (168 comments) <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34916239>

Even the FBI says you should use an ad blocker (<https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/22/fbi-ad-blocker/>) 2 months ago (36 comments) <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34095107>

I like Brave because it comes equipped with a customizable Ad blocker (and Tracker shields, VPN, and Tor integration).

So Google and Bing is serving malware. Who would have thought. /s
