Whenever I visited a Mediafire link without Adblocker I felt like I was on a shady fourth world anime streaming website that gave me about seven STDs simultaneously and I received a dozen popups despite the browser being configured to block popups. |

They also purposefully bump the page about 3 seconds after opening so you accidentally click on the button to learn more about whatever paid subscription service they offer. |

posted an issue on anti adblock killer's github recommending the userscript/adblock filter to any sane person |
