careful, FA has phising ad clickers on it now
2 months ago
so recently on my phone when i browse FA sometimes the page will be changed to either a fake antivirus or walmart page, an obvious fishing scam. I have adblocker on my desktop, but never set that up on my phone (not that chrome lets that happen anymore anyway). It only happens with FA in particular. Which gives me the impression it was either hacked or the new admins are skeevy and letting this through, desperate for money. Be careful. Guess ill find an alternative browser for my phone, so much for chrome being "secure" lol. Ya blocking adblockers was totally the way to go.
Also an addition, no, i am not clicking on any of the regular artist ads or anything, literally just making contact with the screen on the page can trigger it popping up. clearing site data does not fix the issue.

I find it safer that way and if I'm not familiar or my gut is telling me not to type in that web address, I'll looking for the artist by going to other places like Google, Bing, Safari, or e621 and search for the name to see if their art pops up at other places, like SF, DA, Twitter, BlueSky, e621, and etc. If I find that a thief is posting the art without the original artist or owner's permission, I'll reverse image search for them that way.
