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.

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
