Not sure how to report a site that leads to malware downloads?

[dftf-stu]

If you visit https://betterfox[.]org in a browser with no ad-blocking extensions active, any click on the page then opens random websites that lead to various random EXE downloads. Uploading them to virustotal[.]com confirms many are malware.

ℹ Replace [.] with just . in the example URL, of course; it's formatted that-way to prevent accidental clicks.

Currently uBO stops the website pop-ups from occurring, but might be better to just block the site entirely?

I'd assume this is the "Online Malicious URL Blocklist", but seems you have to create an account there to report it? 😢
Does anyone here have an account and could perhaps suggest they add it?

Examples of the websites that site may take you to:

If uBO already blocks the popups, there's no need to block the whole site, unless there are other malicious activities even when uBO on.

The ads and popups of this site is just similar to thousands of other sites. Do we have to block nearly all of the internet?

Closing as "wont-fix", uBO working as intended for that site.

(Bit confusing for us users to know what the intended behaviour is, of course: if a website has a massive "click here to download a virus" graphic with a link, if uBO blocks just that image is that job-done, or would it be better to block the entire site, if its sole-purpose seems to only exist to serve a virus. Answer here from an admin is "we just block the download link", so I guess that's that, but you can see from a user perspective why we might think the latter.)

If the whole purpose of the site is just having that download virus banner then it's fine to block the whole site. If the purpose of the site is completely different and the malicious things come from the ads, then it's just similar to all other sites.

Google also serves literal phishing sites as their ads as well, from time to time. Should we block google as well?

If you look at the uBO shortener links file which contains shortener, redirection and file hosting sites filters, those sites serve the same or even worse malware popups. Should we block all shortener and file hosting sites too?

The only reason we could block this site is it could be "unofficial" site of a project and that project also have vocals about those issues. Then that's the main reason that we could consider blocking it, the site having ads is just another additional reason backing up our decision.
