Calling out #Startpage for this sneaky malicious timing tactic:
- show results below invisible sponsored links
- inject sponsored links at the top and expand them ~⅓—½ of the screen height
- users trying to click on one of the first few non-sponsored links clicks on a sponsored link which quickly expands at a moment when it’s too late for users to stop themselves from clicking. People cannot re-adjust their mouse position fast enough.
I get burnt on that more often than not.
