What is Markably.info Redirect? And how does it work?

Markably.info is a website that supposedly allows users to stream videos and movies over the web.

However, before you can play any of it, you have to click on the Allow button.
Clearly, the offer to allow users in streaming movies or videos online is only a ploy to get them to click the Allow button that could redirect users to other harmful sites or allow it to alter the settings of the browser and inject various sponsored contents like in-text links, pop-ups, and banners that will constantly appear each time a user browse the web. Aside from that, it also tracks and monitors your browsing activities in order to obtain your browsing-related information such as your search queries, browser type, source of traffic acquisition, IP address, browsing history, websites you visit frequently and many more. The harvested data is used by crooks to produce more browsing related contents. What’s more, is that the collected data might also be shared with its affiliated websites. This clearly shows that Markably.info Redirect is not safe to use and is definitely a threat to your privacy.
