{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

Thanks for the suggestions.   This redirect "hijack" had been occurring, as I said, in both Windows and Linux, in Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge. 

I checked the advanced settings for Privacy | Content, and on each I already had Pop-Ups blocked.

Upon installing UBlock Origin in Firefox and Chrome, I could see it working immediately.

For Microsoft Edge, they have uBlock Origin in   their store.

For Pale Moon, I used this.   

There is a reason I use so many different web browsers.   

Yes, Raul, DuckDuckGo, I have used that in the past in Linux.

Again, thanks for the tips.


I have been deeply engrossed in studying, as well as running my mom around to various doctors.  I realize why I stay awake late into the night or wake up very early - so as to study in peace.   


It's a relief to have this redirect blocked.  Maybe I will be more likely to post again now.


Thanks again.
