    I’m very mildly shocked that “another fake download site exists and is being shown to people through ads” still makes the news. Feel like you should at least need to pass the bar of installing without several instances of user input before it’d be news-worthy.

      I think it’s particularly newsworthy in the context of Chromium’s web environment integrity push. Adblocking is basic security for a lot of people who support non-savvy users who otherwise may go through these several instances of user input.
