Partway through this article, Winbuzzer asks me to "Install Winbuzzer Prompt Station." I don't think this is a legitimate source.

It looks like most of the article is a rehash of this Windows Central article from a day earlier:

It's just a first-party ad. There's even a "PROMO" tag above. The fact that it's first party, combined with the fact the site isn't too popular is probably why it didn't get blocked by your adblocker. But it doesn't make the site less of a "legitimate source" than say, The New York Times, which also has ads.

The Windows central article you are linking lacks a lot of additional information. The Winbuzzer article is better imho calling it not legitimate is a little bit harsh.
