She didn’t even realize she fell for the Google Ads injected as pseudo results. (It’s been a while I don’t know if they are still around)
Even worse my ex almost payed for Firefox, because she fell for the ad links above the real Mozilla link below, when she was looking for the Installer.

OK.

“Fine. Turn it back on.”
