but how else can they beg you to subscribe to their patreon and use their spam pop up ad infested website?I'm a little bummed with the "Sneak peak/Get more content on Patreon" thing because now I see yet another character that will probably be introduced later into the story and feel kinda spoiled by that.. But that just might be me.
and then the little shits get taken down/sued and wonder why the fuck. Translation team aren't what they used to be.but how else can they beg you to subscribe to their patreon and use their spam pop up ad infested website?
o.o! While i know its a bit paranoid, you might wana check your system too, never know what type of malware the site runs.jesus, went to their homepage to read ahead and got hit with 3+ pop-up ads every time I clicked on anything

If you're on a pc, these extensions (or alternatives you trust) should always be installed.o.o! While i know its a bit paranoid, you might wana check your system too, never know what type of malware the site runs.
Learned a long time ago that you shouldn't visit random site unless you're secure in your system protection. Just like STDs, malware is never fun.
O . oIf you're on a pc, these extensions (or alternatives you trust) should always be installed.
Malwarebytes, AB, Popup Blocker (strict).
MB stops you from visiting any website marked as malicious, ABP blocks the ads and PB blocks all popups, (though it kinda gets in the way of some websites that need popups, so i turn it off on legit sites)
and on mobile get a better browser that does all these things by default.

That advice seems to be missing an obvious one too. uBlock Origins, you can also use the filter list to create your own personalized black list if ever there are companies who start annoying you so much that you don't even want to accidentally give them the possibility of click revenue.O . o
Thats some good standard advice, but why risk contamination? I mean sure if you're slumming it you should always wear protection, but it's never guaranteed you will skate by unscathed.

And for browsers, at least give some suggestions. Like Brave, LibreWolf or Waterfox.
As for why I'm not suggesting Edge, Chrome, Opera or Firefox. Edge and Chrome is relatively self evident with the ways in which Microsoft and Google have been behaving like the unstoppable monopolistic juggernauts that they are and their hostile nature against users, with both of them loving to scrape your data and the latter working very hard against adblockers while promoting and protecting scammers on Youtube that actively makes all us users less secure.
Opera due to dubious origins and also similar security worries. And Firefox because of their changes in their terms and services that have reduced your privacy and safety.
LibreWolf and Waterfox are Firefox branch/offshoots. And Brave, while Chromium, is typically well regarded in terms of security and privacy and also has built-in adblocking.
You can also make use of Virustotal to check a link before you use it. Virustotal is a site, you can use it to verify files or a link for you. The information isn't the be all end all for files mind you, since there are cases of files that are 100% safe, but have false positives. Gotta love those complications huh?
For the most part you're protected.O . o

Not sure why you're assuming I'm calling you out.Because why would I recommend something I myself haven't used?
I just gave a basic suggestion, the bare minumum, a person should have. So I don't know why there was a need to call me out.
A simple addon to the suggestion would've been enough.
Oh and:
- Adblock Plus has a custom blacklist function too.
- Malwarebytes in addition of having ad/popup blockers also does the VirusScans part (it fully blocks websites if it is a phishing site or has a malware script or web trojans, and also indentifies threats based on behavior patterns).
For the most part you're protected.
If even after all that something manages to creep in that's most likely the users own fault. (i.e downloading dubious things themselves) or unless a legit website gets hacked.
There's a reason the comick creator warned users against going to comick copycat sites but people are still logging in to those sites.
