@dmarti@federate.social @Distante@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social Since Privacy Badger is not an ad blocker, it does not do anything about ads on websites that do not use third-party trackers. If malicious search ads are a concern, I suggest adding a reputable ad blocker such as uBlock Origin.

@privacybadger@mastodon.social @Distante@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social I think I figured out how to do this and stick with Privacy Badger. If I add the right URL paths to an enterprise config file, I can block (high-risk) search ad clicks. So I get malvertising protection without adding another extension, and it works across all my browser profiles https://blog.zgp.org/search-malvertising-protection-using-enterprise-policies/ (desktop admins, this could save a large company a lot of $$$ just preventing one accounts payable person from accidentally clicking a fake SaaS link)
