This means that you could discover different pop-ups, deals, surveys and other offers when visiting various sites. Needless to say, all of these are supported by third parties, and this is a security loophole in itself. Even if the developers of LinkiDoo have no intentions to scam you or expose security vulnerabilities, you cannot be too sure about the intentions of these third parties.
