    If you’re getting ads for an adblocker, it might be time to get an adblocker (but not that one).

        Oof, you gotta find that FBI post (might have a different 3 letter agency) said that adbock is required for safe browsing. Tell them users can’t click on malware ads if there’s no malware ads to click.

        Set your DNS to a pihole or some other ad blocking DNS server, that’s about the best you can do on a managed system
