Developers, please be careful when installing Homebrew. Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. The URL for this site is one letter different than the official site.

Note: Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad (original brew.sh here), but the click takes you to the malware domain brewe.sh.

@kravietz That is why the best anti-malware software I install on all my clients' computers is @ublockorigin with a good filter list (or a filter-syntax- and feature-compatible ad blocking Chrome-like browser for those who prefer).

#uBlockOrigin, because Google won't direct any of their #surveillanceCapitalism capacity toward scrutinizing the advertiser rather than the user.
