Genetically modified mosquitoes breed in Brazil

This page has some malicious ads on it that keep redirecting me to phishing sites (only on mobile Firefox apparently)

If you're using mobile FF why wouldn't you take advantage of its ability to use ad blockers?

That’s really not important. Redirecting anyone to malicious sites should be an immediate red line.

And going online without an ad blocker is simply irresponsible.

Also posting such a link to HN is simply irresponsible.

...anyone who has an adblocker won't know the site is bad. >_>

People on HN should know better. Your average person though won’t.

I'm an average person on HN. I specifically don't use ad blockers. You might need to adjust some of your assumptions.

Apparently I had ublock origin disabled for some reason, it's back on now.

I don't think mobile FF has an ad blocker - at least not on iOS

That's because Apple only allows rebranded versions of Safari on iOS. Firefox for Android supports ad blockers.

Although iOS Safari does have support for ad-blockers built in, so most iOS users can easily get an ad-free web.

Would you be able to record a video and send it to me? I work at DW. Thanks!
