Users blame Google for not filtering ads, and most of this ads very well 'stocked up' with malware are presented to crypto users which they click and redirects them to be scammed, but mind you that the average Joe on the internet knows that Google search/Chrome for instance is a bad choice for browser, but they still use it. Users should see this thread: Privacy, ways to protection, to help them choose good browsers and search engines for privacy and security. That being said, ad blockers should also be used by crypto users, these privacy responsibilities are obviously a must for all to protect your device, data and funds from being compromised. I'll quote this to summarize it all:
Stop using Google to find the website of exchanges, services, or wallet.

Stop following random links without checking the URL.

Start using uBlock Origin.

Never type your seed in anywhere.

How many times does this need repeated?
