I shared a link from a movie streaming site not knowing that without uBlock Origin the page was covered in nearly pornographic mobile game ads.
... What? Jesus.
nearly pornographic, which describes pretty much all mobile game ads.
Ah the old scantily clad warrior woman being used to advertise... a match-3 game.
I've been jumpscared by hentai ads when I accidentally followed a pirating link to safari rather than firefox. Movie streaming sites are some of the worst offenders.
