...after not being on this site in a while while reading the Clifford thread. Ugh. From "internal (hyphen) scanning (dot) com". Likely a bad ad on the site. Not sure I'll be back.

What do you mean ‘hit’ - like, there was a pop up and you clicked it? On PC?

Nope--It kinda took over the webpage (or might have been a popup). I closed it immediately and reset Firefox. Saw the address in my history, so I knew what it was (verified with a search). It was on my Mac.

The Brave browser that Obliviax recommended a while ago is excellent - light, fast, and very secure. I use it on both my pc and mobile, and I'm pretty sure Obli was an Apple fanboy so you're probably in luck if you want to download it.

I have noticed more pop ups that take over the screen or sometimes scrolls up while I’m scrolling down. On mobile iPhone

Me too and it started, at least for me, yesterday.
