uBlock Origin and ReVanced users: I missed the part where that's my problem.
i know my problem: besides im almost immune, my family isnt, my devices connected in the same network could be affected by a malware sponsor on 1st search result, besides im the one who got to fix anything that could go wrong in their devices, etc
It's good that there is at least one person in a family that can fix electronics. It's worse when there's no one. I think the majority of malware coming from ads (and persisting on devices) is in those families that lack that one techy person.
