They use tricks and exploits to escape their sandbox. Browsers have some legitimate uses for 3rd party JavaScript to interact with the page. Malicious ads will obfuscate their code to use APIs in an unintended way.
Sorry I don’t know more specifics, but this is why the FBI recommends you run an ad blocker.
That makes sense. Thanks. So DNS-level ad blockers wouldn't help in this situation, right? We're talking about browser plugins to block malicious code?
DNS blockers like Pi-hole would potentially offer better protection right if the network requests are intercepted at the local network level then even devices like a smart fridge that make ad requests could be protected without an ad blocker extension on every device.
generally by using zero day exploits
Having an adblocker becomes a necessity more and more every day.
zionists spy on nazis?
Zionists spy on everyone. They didn't build up Epstein and target business and political leaders world wide for nothing. Look at how basically every government except Ireland still wants to suck Israeli dick, think they'd do that for anyone else (outside of the US, which is obvious also involved)?
I don't honestly believe we can legitimately trust any Business leader or Political leader in the entire western world to have our best interests at heart when they are all obviously compromised by blackmail because apparently a huge swath of them violently rape children, or want to violently rape children .
That's the world we live in. They're just still attempting to hide it from the public.
I know, that is why guillotines need to become popular again. My comment was just calling out elon musk, and those who fund his nazism by using his products.
While the anti-Zionist narrative generally fits my worldview I’d be remiss to not point out that this is pretty much status quo for any foreign intelligence service.
Not giving them a pass in the slightest, just be aware it’s happening everywhere unfortunately.
I do not mean to imply utilizing rings to get compromat on pedophiles, just generally getting compromat on folks
Everywhere is a bit of a misnomer. Yes every country will research whomever they're dealing with, that's just basic politics and business.
But specifically seeking out compromat is not something all countries do, it's what bully countries like the US, Russia, China, Israel, etc will do you try to control others for their own benefit.
Having your spy agency look into the politicians and business people they deal with is a good idea, doesn't mean you're attempting to blackmail and threaten them. And that's what compromat is for, blackmail and threats.
