This is old news from December last year, but the FBI put out a public service announcement saying that to protect yourself from "cyber criminals using search engine advertisement services to impersonate brands and direct users to malicious sites that host ransomware and steal login credentials and other financial information" you should "use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches". Well if the FBI says to do it, who am I to say no? Pi-Hole, NextDNS, uBlock Origin, Magic Lasso - take your pick, they're all good. Better advice than the Prime Minister saying to turn off your phone for 5 minutes every night, lol.
