You’ve never seen a DNS poisoning attack have ya? I’ve seen Google infect systems just because they looked up a particular football game, because some bad actor somehow poisoned the DNS cache.
There is this torrent site I use that likes to use javascript to redirect to various malicious websites on every single click. After reaching the desired amount of clicks, it start behaving like a normal, “legit” website. Just of out curiosity I checked few other torrent websites and got the same result. It got so annoying that I’m using radarr and sonarr to look for torrents.
Edit: Ublock Origin, Sponsorblock, Violent Monkey with anti script and ad block blocker scripts. Countdown bypass, autoclick skip ad and shortlink scripts, and what ever other specific scripts for your needs
I decided to be helpful for others instead of just a smart ass. Not you OP, you have it coming for spreading misinformation
Somehow “legit” sites won’t try to install malware on my laptop. So, I take more regular ads over piracy crap.
Who gets malware in 2024? Lol what

So no, “legit” sites aren’t always safe either.
I know what dns poisoning is but it usually happens on so called legit sites. Pirate sites serve you malware out of the box.
If you would stop clicking on the ‘hot, horny single women in your area’ banners you wouldn’t have to worry about it

Why do you like to use this site if you know it’s trying to abuse you? There are countless others out there.
So far they have not proven themselves to make wise choices, or really know what they are talking about at all
Mostly because of the amount of good quality content. But as I said, I’ve moved to radarr/sonarr so I interact with less and less.
Hey everybody, this guy uses a shitty fucking site and thinks all piracy sites are bad! Definitely not confirmation bias with a tinge of ignorance
I remember my first time on the internet
