Thanks for the full report, Bumi. It’s a troubling one.
I have some active anti-malware / anti-tracking tools running on my machine. Perhaps that’s why I only got one pop-up, and never saw any ads when I visited. I suppose I’ve become spoiled — sorry your experience was different.
Steven, are you aware of the things Shibumi found at your site?
I am amazed that anyone surfs the net without an adblocker, anti-malware and anti-tracking tools and then complains.
Ads are everywhere. It is how the vast majority of sites cover their expenses.
If I didn’t have the tools to block the mosts annoying types such as pop-ups I wouldn’t go anywhere on the web.
Geez, even FR attempts to apply a tracker.
