That's awful.

I just tried uploading a couple files from PC to Android phone, ublock Origin had marked sharedrop.io as potential badware, disabled it because I knew it to be decent software, then once the file was uploaded (not before), I watched with horror as it redirected me to limewire and showed me that my file was in some bucket probably on some server that I never meant for it to go!

Thanks ublock Origin, I'll never doubt you again. Unless you get bought too. No one is safe.


They seem to be consuming the competition:
