How the heck does Google let this happen? I don’t use Chrome usually, but was fixing someone’s computer today and switching their ad-blocker, and noticed that the second search result for “ublock”, which reviews describe as malware, looks more legit than the actual, not only because it’s the only one with a “verified” website badge, but it has a “featured” badge as well! Unbelievable.
