Apple's iOS ad-blocking is a net, not a gun

Don’t forget that advertising channels are a major attack vector for malware and virus distributors. I’ve even seen malware served up on ads from free antivirus websites

Oh I know. It seems so weird to me that I have to recommend that my parents and grandparents need to install ad blockers as a security measure. It’s like all the nightmare “the TV is actually watching you” scenarios are finally real, just not in the way we imagined.
