AS stated in the title, i keep getting redirected to this garbage. Only happens on GameFAQs and no other site, so I'm highly suspicious it's not my PC but the site itself that has the problem. Anyone else having this happen?

Edit: A thing to note is I've never had Norton Antivirus on this PC.

I got a weird thing a week or so ago when I clicked on a discord link here.

Something's amiss. It's the first time in forever I've seen something like this.

I did accidentally click on an ad on Gamefaqs on mobile and it somehow generated some intrusive ad page redirection during my posts. It was horrible but I solved my own problem eventually just deleting a bunch of shit from my cache I forget the exact setting/name.

Hey I'm still here even if fandom be damned. Never ever had a problem with Gamefaqs on desktop fwiw.

Famdom gets paid to show it, it is up to us, the users, to sort out the crap, for free.

This is why I never turn off Add blockers like U block.

Reminder that Fandom literally says they're not responsible if an ad (That they allow onto their site and they directly profit off of) fucks up your computer.

So Firefox + ublock origin it up.

I do use an adblocker on laptop. It's more just a well that turned out to be a convenient thing after all that does help for shutting down ads primarily for youtube, but does work here.
