Those seem particular instances of adtech. Any service than runs malicious code in your browser is bad. I don't think websites are bad because some of them have malicious code.


I never claimed the sites are bad. I specifically said ad tech is bad. I block ads, not web sites. You're trying to make my comment into something it is not.


No, you've missed the point. You're saying all ad tech is bad because some has before served malware. I'm saying this isn't consistent - you don't avoid all websites because some of them serve malware.


No I block all ad ware so I can visit what ever website I want precisely because ad tech has shown itself to be malicious. Really not sure of your confusion on the point.


My point is: why do you visit websites when they've also been "shown to be malicious"?
