Wow, fancy that. Web ad giant Google to block ad-blockers in Chrome. For safety, apparently

Looks like I will be switching to Firefox since Google insists on saying they have the RIGHT to determine and FORCE me to take content and ads I don't want. I have a question though? Is there any way to import Chrome Bookmarks into Firefox? If so how is this done as I would appreciate a quick walk-through if possible. Thanks.

Re: What we need

I would say attach cannon balls to each side of his testicles with hooks going through them for writing and putting something like this out into the wild and trying to extort people for money. Tell him he has a choice he has to either loose his testicles or put his testicles in a vice with the vice clamped down as tight as it will go.. If it sounds harsh I have no sympathy for people that use these kinds of tactics to extort people with money as a motive.

Re: what happens

You didn't read the article it's $150 and the files deleted likely are random each time so the user wouldn't be able to circumvent the deletion of the files by simply changing the properties of said files by trying to tamper with specific ones.

Re: what happens

It's got a timer built into the payload, iirc it also displays a countdown timer on the screen letting you know that it is keeping track of time before the next payload executes.

Re: What's more shocking though...

Good point turning off adblocker is dangerous because these days even hovering over an ad doesn't necessarily mean what you see is what you get and that the ad you are clicking on is not being redirected to another site without your knowledge.
