Why are these ads dangerous?

Dragon Branch is an ad-supported tool, which is why it floods you with so many pop-ups. Each ad it tricks you into clicking on produces profits for the people behind it. And if it fails to fool you into clicking on its unreliable pop-ups, it ceases to exist. In order to continue its operations, the program is required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. That’s why it leaves nothing to chance. Instead of bombard you with random ads and hope for the best, Dragon Branch spends some time getting to know you. It observes your browsing habits in order to understand what you like and dislike. Once it determines what appeals to you, the waterfall of “appropriate” ads commences. Ads, which the program feels will spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Unfortunately, the tool does much more than merely monitor your browsing activities. It catalogs every move you make, and when it decides it has collected enough data from you, sends it to the unknown people that support it. After they have it, they can use it as they see fit. Are you willing to grant access to your personal and financial information to strangers with agendas? Think long and hard before you decide.
