Warning! Fake @bitwarden ad shows up in Google’s “search results”. It’s yet another example of a Google ad where the real site’s domain is misleadingly shown (it’s not a homograph attack).

Never click on search result ads. FBI recommends hiding them with an adblocker. Duck Duck Go lets you disable ads for free.

Here’s the filter I wrote to hide all ads that look like search results on Google, Bing, and Startpage: nikkasystems.com/wp-content/up.

It works with uBlock Origin, Brave and Vivaldi.

@karlemilnikka it's interesting that Google is a company worth 2 000 000 000 000 USD and ads is their main business but still they apparently do not have the resources or competence to clean out obviusly fake ads. Either that, or they willingly keep fake ads because they make money on those ads.

If thry do it on purpose I suppose that should be illegal, a form of fraud?
