Feb 2024

Before I installed an ad blocker on my phone, at least once a day I got an ad that took over my browser and sent me to a scam website to "remove" the malicious malware they claimed to have found. Going back to DU was blocked. The only remedy was to close the browser and come back here later.

My financial situation will soon be better, and then I'll donate.
