Just thought this was very odd…
You might have run into that alert, as a result of clicking the search results link . . . and therefore taken a redirect to the website.
My Brave Browser > Shields settings:
- Global: Trackers & Ads:
Aggressive - Global: Block Cookies:
Block third party cookies - Global: Block Scripts: Enabled
- Global: Block Fingerprinting: Enabled
I used Brave Browser (MacOS) to directly visit:
https://www.pocket-lint.com/phone-ai-trojan-horse/
Result:
In order for various functions of the webpage, to be dynamic/work, I would probably have to adjust Site-Specific Brave Shields settings.
Tips regarding Brave Shields:
I have more success, with:
- Brave Shields UP
- Either Allow All Cookies or Block 3rd Party Cookies, but NOT Blocking All Cookies
- Allowing JavaScripts from specific sources, but NOT Allowing All JavaScripts
- Trackers & Ads treatment: Aggressive (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
- Fingerprinting (aka footprinting) blocking: Strict (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
I almost NEVER use:
- All of Brave Shields UP
- All of Brave Shields DOWN
