So almost got scammed due to Google Ad's. See the video below. If you are lazy type and type out the word in google instead of the entire website. There is a way to block Google Ad entirely. I use a chrome app plugin called uBlock Origin. It blocks everything by default.
I use Metamask in conjunction with UBlock as well.
Wrote a blog post here with Metamask in action.
Without UBlock
With UBlock

You can also use Adblock to block those CPU mining sites such as what Pirate Bay and Show time were doing secretly.
Go to Options
Click Customize and Edit
