I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    So in other words, Google wants to be able to confirm the web page you requested is not tempered with, similar to a video game detecting any kind of mods?

    Ya, I don’t see how that’ll work out for them. Even those who don’t use ad blockers, many use accessibility plugins like you said.

    I mean damn. I probably have at least 5 extensions that modify the page in some way. Adding better contrast, removing buttons I don’t use and want to hide…

      Game mods is a good simile ill try remember that.

      Hell the gta franchise is probably a good example as Rockstar flipped their mod position at one point.
