istening to War Room last night, Michael Benz was reporting on article discussed in this thread https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4328062/posts

Suddenly, this happened , quoting myself from other thread:

"I was watching Michael Benz report on this last night on War Room. Suddenly , my search bar was redirected to an unknown url, and this kind of thing took over (What is a UUID, and what is it used for?cockroachlabs.com). it redirected my computer into settings and was proceeding to do who knows what when I terminated the connection, It seemed just like what Sharyl Attkison described so long ago when she worked at CBS. Antway, I feel like I’ve been tagged with this uuid and extremely concerning the path the computer was taking, especially considering the subject and people under discussion when it happened."

Any guesses?

Any web page has the ability to redirect you (your browser) to any arbitrary other website page, unless you configure your browser to disallow such action, with the side effect that lots of legit websites stop working because they rely on redirection.

Stay way from dodgy websites. There are two ways to identify a dodgy website:

It's your call whether War Room now qualifies as a dodgy website. I have no opinion.

Unique identifiers are essential to all systems. It’s not a conspiracy.

The website redirect you experienced is probably adware garbage. Clear your cache, run a virus scan, get an ad blocker, and stay off questionable websites.
