I hadn’t been to the Pirate Bay in quite some time. I occasionally pop over to look for old videos. I went today and a big popover for a dubious software upgrade came up. Then, another saying that my system is infected and offering to clean it. That’s obviously fake, but it was blocking my access to the user interface so I wasn’t able to complete my search. Closed it. That’s unfortunate.
You sure you went to the real pirate bay? There’s a fuckton of imitators full of crap.
thepiratebay.org. I won’t ask a question like this again. Even though well-meaning, everyone has assumed I don’t know what I’m doing.
it sounds like you don’t. I went there with Firefox mobile and ublock origin, nothing but pb search box and some categories. NO ads or popups.
