    > Chrome without uBlock (or any browser really) is unusable.

    I use a recent version of Safari and uBlock origin doesn't work there.

    Instead I use Ka-Block![1], which blocks popular ad serving domains. For other annoyances like newsletter popups, etc., I rely on the "Kill sticky headers" script[2], with some custom hacks; I'll try to post my version of that script sometime soon.

    It works good enough for my needs. I also have Firefox with uBlock installed, I end up still using Safari.

    For blocking different kinds of internet junk, I use Ka-Block!, Hush and NextDNS. I see no scams like that and very little ads.

    I’d suggest you use NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush on all your devices to block not only these scams, but also trackers, ads, annoying cookie notices and other internet junk.

    You haven’t been hacked. It sounds like a scammy ad. I suggest NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush for blocking these and other internet junk (I’ve been using all three myself for a long time).

    You don’t have a virus. This pop-up was a scammy ad. I use NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush to block these and other internet junk. I’d suggest you to try them out. It costs you nothing and you can regain some sanity, privacy, security, internet bandwidth, computing speed and battery life by not loading all the scams, phishing attempts, trackers, ads, cookie notices and general junk the modern internet is unfortunately full of.

    No love for Ka-Block?... :/ Available for macOS and iOS. And it's open-source. It's great! :)
