Because of the following filter
||amplifypixel.outbrain dot com^ Consider here:
https://whotracks.me/websites/amplifypixel.outbrain%20dot%20comI.m.h.o. every browser user, being online should use a good adblocker and scriptblocker,
like for instance uBlock Origin combined with uMatrix.
Also be alerted whenever trying to connect out to a http:// website, to have it blocked initially,
so one could consider whether it is safe enough to connect out there after being alerted.
HTTP Only extensions that alert in this way will keep you out of harm's way.
Avast may be attacked in this way, but we have heard little about the overall practices going on at Google's, facebook, CloudFlare's,
Amazon, Alibaba's, etc. etc. making a very long list, we hear nothing essential about, so why to come and rig the boat here for avast?
"Who is without any sins, should cast the first stone here". Who is that gonna be? I am asking Motherboard, PCMag.
