Fake install buttons on ads directly below the actual install button
I think it's terrible to have such ads under the install button.
Thankfully (I hope!) that's not from EthicalAds. But don't know what other ad services GF uses.
These come from AdSense; I can remove individual ads or companies but can't generally say to not do that kind of thing.
I think it's terrible to have such ads under the install button. If I direct non-tech-savvy people to GreasyFork to install my userscripts, there is a nonzero chance they'll click on that big colorful fake one, and most likely get themselves adware or malware. Then they complain to me about that.
Ads understandably allow GreasyFork to continue running, however I hope these kind of ads could at least be moved somewhere else, I don't know if that's a thing you can control. I really don't feel like directing people to GreasyFork anymore and will rather assist in installing the userscript some other way if I know the user is non-tech-savvy.
