I have been getting warnings here for a couple months from my browser guard, and they are becoming more and more frequent. Are these put here by the site owner, or is it an outside source? I have been here quite a while, and this is something new and the frequency has been increasing.

From Gemini search:

This warning is generated by the Malwarebytes Browser Guard browser extension, which blocked the ar15.com forum page because a rule in the EasyList filter list flagged element(s) on the page.

Primary Causes for This Block:

EasyList Ad/Tracker Filter Rule: Malwarebytes integrates standard ad-blocking rules from EasyList. If a specific URL path, ad network, tracking script, or embedded resource on AR15.com matches a rule updated in EasyList, Malwarebytes blocks the entire page as a precaution.

Third-Party Ad Network Flagging: Discussion forums frequently run third-party advertising networks or external scripts. If an ad network served on that page was flagged for suspicious activity (malvertising or tracker misuse), Malwarebytes stops access to protect your device.

False Positive Filter Update: Block rules updated daily across public lists like EasyList sometimes inadvertently flag legitimate forum links or submission URLs.

How to Resolve It:

To bypass once: Click "Continue to this website" on the screen.

To prevent future blocks on this site: Check the "Do not block this site again" box before continuing, or add ar15.com to the Allow List in your Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension settings.

I am guessing it is probably an ad with a tracker.

That is why I run the Brave browser. It just blocks the trackers, I never see them, but it lets all sites through. It does break a few sites, but it is like 1 in 1,000 sites that I have to fire up Firefox or Chrome to access. Brave is Chromium based, so it works with the Chrome extensions and the Chrome webstore.

It is also possible that AR15 is on the bad list for having, well AR15s...I have seen this on some public WiFis.

Strangely, the majority of the warning come from the ham forum. Go figure.
