CTR for contextual warning (33/40) is higher than CTR for interstitial warning (18/40)

6 of the 40 participants thought contextual warnings more effective because they’re always there, but 15 said contextual warnings not very noticeable
34 participants thought interstitial warnings more effective, 32 said it was more visible, 19 mentioned that interstitial warnings required user interaction before they can go on
