The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes."

I haven't. Now you can be sure.

The more ways an advertiser tries to get their ad in front of me, the more likely I am to add that product to a list of products NEVER TO BUY EVER. I maintain this list on paper and consult it frequently.

The photo was provided by the malicious advertiser, and Google isn't going to OCR every JPG they get to make sure it isn't misleading. Much more cost effective to wait for someone to get bitten by it and then clean up afterwards.

why do you have to keep reminding me you exist

Maybe you should shove this suggestion, and your iPhone, up your ass.

Scam may not be the right word, but marketing the browser as ad blocking while funding the browser with ads is, um, cognitively dissonant.
