Some ad networks are injecting JavaScript into your browser that they have never seen before and didn't write themselves. You never click on the article link? That page can be anything, thus include any JS. > I get to choose where I'm going. Thus you check every link before clicking on it? I feel like that's not the case, but I would applaud you to be consistent if you do. > And with an ad blocker, you don't have to be as afraid to visit a malicious site. Ad blockers only block ads, not malicious JS. If you visit a website which include malicious JS, it's just as bad as an ad that contains malicious JS. > I have JS and ad blocking on by default Blocking JS that's a good way to stop malicious JS. Blocking ads then is redundant, what does it give you more? |
