Is the-eye safe?
The first site I ever used for getting e-books was the-eye.eu’s World Tracker Library. When the-eye went down and came back it looked like most of that section was gone, but just recently I discovered that there’s still an enormous collection of links at the-eye.eu/public/Books/…/sitemap.htm. However, actually trying to click on any of the links to download promptly results in me being blocked by one of my adblockers with the following message:
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:
xypthe.com/jr.php?gz=1wWRyscHiZ2sXxIYGRiID349fnlv…
Because of the following filter:
/jr.php?gz=$document Found in:
<span style="color:#323232;">uBlock filters – Badware risks
</span>
Since it’s an adblocker, though, I dunno how much of a risk there really is. I’d really like to be able to use these files as they’re a lot more conveniently organized than the other sites I’ve been forced to use since the-eye originally died, but not at a risk to my computer.
