I didn't at first, I went through the kebab menu to report it, and it tells me which domain it points to.
I did click it eventually out of curiosity because I'm on Firefox with an ad blocker and privacy tools.
The link within actually goes to McAfee, but I'm guessing it's some sort of smart switcher where it sometimes sends you to a fake checkout page?
Wouldn't it *leading to McAfee be scummy enough as is?
Fr lol
That's not McAfee, check the URL at the bottom.
I'm aware, the "renew subscription" button goes to McAfee, this is a scam page
with javascripts being disabled, right? right?
Yup, noscript 😋
