I just saw this and felt I should share it. I'm sure most people here wouldn't fall for it but it can't hurt to make sure 👍

Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I'm using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn't make it to my clipboard 🤷

If your web browser tells you to do something outside of your web browser, you shouldn't.

Many non tech users wouldn’t even realize they were leaving the browser.

Non tech users...like the Amish?

I meant “non tech literate” but I’ll own it at this point 🤣
