And give “the verge” some ad revenue? Or potentially have their trackers on my phone/computer? Nah I’m good.
Wait you don't have an ad blocker ? (to be fair I use an adblocker which does pretend to watch and click ads thus giving the verge ad revenue)
My bad i assumed people on this sub had the amateur knowledge required to protect themselves and/or avoid the 5 trackers on the site.
Your right though, if clicking a link to theverge is such a massive risk for you, then not reading articles is probably least of your concerns.
