    VLC Media Player got a problem with a bunch of scam domains too, they mimick the original, usually appear in the first slot and outright install malware on your device… sad

        that’s the correct domain and that’s part of the problem, no one knows it as “videolan”, everyone knows it as “VLC”, so the official domain being different is incredibly confusing.
