I do this sort of thing for a living. I know what I'm talking about.
uBlock blocks whatever you want it to, malware sites as well. But my point is that the meaningful hacks (i.e. the ones that will hack your computer not just the website) are targeted more towards advertisers. You hack 1 advertiser and you can distribute malware (e.g. ransom-ware) on 100's of popular internet sites. Blocking 3rd-party ads is one of the best lines of defence against that. Windows isn't less secure than Linux - it's just more popular and thus more targeted.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.
