Those domain pagefair.com and ***** primary activity is ad targeting/advertising/tracking domain Those domain pagefair.com and ***** are a privacy concern. Because they tracks you and serves ads. In other words, those domain tracks you from site to site. Collect that information. Then sell it to third parties to monetize. Those domain actively promotes ways to do so under the false pretense of helping advertisers "reclaim adblocked revenue. The site tries to circumvent adblock and hosts ads that promote misleading/fake claims like "fake download button" ads, "your PC has been infected" ads, "click here to claim your prize", etc. The type of ads that make novice users panic, click and accidentally install the malware/crapware that these "advertisers" intentionally offer.

It appears to be a newspaper of some sort.  The Guardian linked a story about adblocking and I trust that The Guardian isn't going to send me to an unsafe site.  I came here only to read the article, so I cannot vouch for the content, only that it is perfectly safe.  As I have Adblock Plus installed, popups don't affect me.

I'm glad the low ratings by many people brought my attention to the company's business practices. It's not "wrong" for people to rate the site as one people don't trust. It's truthful. And, assuming the descriptions of the company's business practices are accurate, well-founded.

Advertising meets Adblock Plus's criteria for non-intrusive advertising. Most advertising I have seen from this provider is outside of the main reading area and unintrusive. While I checked the "Ads/pop-ups" category, this site does not use pop-up advertising as that would cause them to get disqualified from Adblock Plus's whitelist. Quite ironically, competitor ***** is rated green.

This site does not directly host malware, spam, etc BUT actively promotes ways to do so under the false pretense of helping advertisers "reclaim adblocked revenue". The site tries to circumvent adblock and hosts ads that promote misleading/fake claims like "fake download button" ads, "your PC has been infected" ads, "click here to claim your prize", etc. The type of ads that make novice users panic, click and accidentally install the malware/crapware that these "advertisers" intentionally offer. Make no mistake, this is a site by scumbags for scumbags.

An anti-adblocking tool. From their website (http://pagefair.com/): "Adblocking costs websites money. Use PageFair to measure how much it costs you, educate your visitors about it and receive a fair payment for your page views. And it only takes 5 minutes to install."
