 1) Using Tor Browser, go to https://search.disconnect.me/

 2) type 'samsung' into the search box

 3) notice the popup "You typed samsung. Did you mean samsung.com?"

 4) If you click "Yes, take me there." you get redirected to a different
 domain http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7842571-11361742

 This behavior started recently and makes Disconnect Search unsuitable for
 users of Tor Browser.
