I ditched Chrome after a Google ad hijacked the browser and attempted download malware onto my device. If you value your own security you absolutely should be using a browser with support for ad blocking extensions. At the same time Google must be held criminally liable for the massive amounts of fraud their ad business facilitates.

What does chrome have to do with it though? Was there some sort of 0day that got exploited? I find that unlikely given how valuable 0days are and the low ROI from in targeted attacks. Shouldn't you be moving off google search itself, since that was ultimately responsible for the malicious ad? Or is it a generic "fuck google" move?
