I clicked on TTC download as the auto updater refused to work somehow, even though it was allowed and not blocked anywhere.
As I tried to download the TTC addon from the website a popup showed directly after I had clicked on the download link at the top of the website.
I did not pay attention 100% and thought I was downloading the TTC addon, but all of sudden it started to download a silly browser expansion...


There only exists a really small "Ad" info at the top left corner, and if you do not look twice and slowly you think you are going to download the just clicked TTC client.

This is really a no go and sucks big time. You can show as many website and affiliate links you want there but why is it providing an installer download as I click on the TTC download? This looks like it was intended or AI just made it look like it was. At least this was annoying.

I'm not against adverstisements but being tricked into some other software installation is just bad!

Fair enough. Ads has been disabled on that page so it shouldnt cause anymore cases like this.

I disabled all ads on the download page. so it might still show up in other pages. Unfortunately, i dont have control on each individual ads. If you feel like the particular ad is misleading/baiting feel free to click on the report button and Google should have a review process to remove those ads.
