      I see this from time to time, only when using firefox. Even on sites like Ars it happens.
      They serve bad advertisements to you, and one of them gets you a popup in firefox.

      Do you think this is a flaw the malvertizers are taking advantage of in FF that's not in Chrome?

        The odd thing is still that only on that network does the .js pop up appear. I guess it comes down to the fact it's a known issue with FF and until they fix it you just have to have add ons.

          Setup a PiHole and see if the problem goes away 😉

            Looks interesting... I think I'm just going to have him use Chrome. Not that Chrome doesn't come with it's own problems, but at least a good work around for this issue.
