The pirate bay .org seems to have been hijacked. They have obnoxious ads that redirect the page on pretty much element I click.

Is this just me? In which case some arsehole has managed to install a browser hijack on my Mac.

I just want to do some peaceful lawless downloading without dating/casino/porn redirects and bullshit "capture" stuff, like wanting me to agree to notifications from a totally different domain in order to see the search results, or asking me to "verify" by scanning a QR code.
Sigh. International crime is hard, so many obstacles.

Interestingly, while Firefox and Chrome experience this, Safari gets a DNS error, and Brave seems to work. I will treat that particular magnet file with. great caution.

That one was worse! At least in Firefox.

Fuckit. Now I have to try fix the problem in some way, my kids need entertainment (and I occasionally need an hour off duty)
