Is Anitube safe?

Pirating sites

Anitube is a name used by various anime streaming websites. There are many Anitube sites, including Anitube.site, Anitube.biz, Anitube.cz, Anitube.in, Anitube.se, Anitube.info, and others. They’re all a little different, but they all allow visitors to watch anime.

As you might expect from a free site, Anitube isn’t a legal streaming site; it’s a pirating website.

It allows for anime streaming, not downloading, though, and so you can’t download malware or copyrighted content from them. This makes it safer than some torrenting websites.

Whether it’s legal for you to watch anime on Anitube depends on the laws of your country. But it’s good to understand that it’s not just free anime – it’s content that is being shared without the permission of its publishers.

Ads and redirects

The most popular versions of Anitube are full of advertisements: ads for gambling sites, adult chatting sites, fake download buttons that lead to various scam sites. What ads you see depends a lot on what country you’re in. For instance, I saw fake download prompts that lead to a fleeceware app (an app that collects payments but doesn’t provide any useful functionality) and a phishing site (a site that convinces visitors to reveal personal information).

Here are some examples of frustrating ads that can be seen on Anitube sites:

• Fake download pages that link to scam apps (paid apps that have no useful features). They’re usually disguised in a misleading way to convince people to install them.
• Clickbait sites. These are sites whose main content is numerous ads.
• Ads for shady diet pills, counterfeit electronics, free energy devices, and similar scams.
• Fake giveaways and surveys (National Consumer Center).
• Adult-oriented ads, like gambling sites and adult chat sites.

Overall, Anitube sites are frustrating to use if you aren’t blocking ads and malicious websites. Not to mention, they can lead you to scam sites and that can have negative consequences.

Some of them ask you to not use an ad blocker so that they can make money from the site and keep running it. That’s understandable, but it’s also a pirating site – these sites don’t pay for the content that they make available.

How to stay safe on Anitube

The best thing to do would be to use legal websites to watch anime Ultimate List of Legal Anime Streaming Sites. Some of these sites do cost money to use, but they aren’t filled with ads and redirects, and you get good quality video. So, always look into your legal options before going for piracy.

If you do decide to visit Anitube or another pirating website, block malicious websites. You can use an anti-malware app that has a web filter. If it detects a malicious website, like a site with a suspicious script on it, it will not allow this site to open.

However, many ads displayed on Anitube are not immediately malicious but are nevertheless dangerous because they lead to scam sites. So, you might also want to use an ad blocker to avoid advertisements that are displayed on Anitube.

It’s also advisable to use an antivirus app, such as Spyhunter for Windows or Combo Cleaner for macOS, to protect your device. If you download a suspicious file, you’ll automatically get a warning about it.

Some Anitube sites ask you to allow their notifications when you visit them. These notifications might show up as pop-ups in the corner or at the top of your screen. To unsubscribe from unwanted notifications, wait for one to show up and then click on its settings button – you’ll be able to block all future notifications from the site. Alternatively, go into the settings of your browser and disable notifications from there:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

Consider disabling notification prompts on the same settings page. You can still allow notifications by adding websites manually.
