Not many ads use flash anymore, most are HTML5, or pictures. I suspect the biggest uptake is from illegal torrents and sketchy download sites. I’ve had to remove malware and pups from my parents computers a few times. My mum always got them from ads on genuine baking/cooking sites. Sadly their computers 09 iMac/09 13” MPB, are all running old versions of Mac OS, so they cannot run a modern version of Safari, and no adblockers seem to work on that version anymore. I’ve tried to get them to switch to a browser that is at least up to date (Firefox or Chrome) but they won’t. At least I got them to use malwarebytes to get them off. I’m really looking forward to the M1 iMacs, they will upgrade when they come out.
