Support NeoGAF

[Celcius]

Lately I'll be clicking something on the site, like the link to off-topic on the upper left side of the screen or something, and then I get redirect to like dish.com or something. This doesn't happen when I'm browsing any other sites. I'm using Chrome on Windows 10. Is this happening to anyone else lately? It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes. I don't know if it matters that my browser window is half-screen width and not full screen.

Not happening to me, sounds pretty dodgy you're being redirected. New dodgy browser plug-in/extension? Did you try another browser?

 

[Celcius]

I just completely uninstalled Chrome and re-installed so I'll see if it happens again

 

[Maiden Voyage]

No issues here.

Don’t use Chrome.

Bruh the admin is trying to tell you that you’ve been banned in very polite way. It’s going to be okay.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah mine redirects to menseekingmen.com all the time, in the middle of the night mostly.. that's what I tell my wife anyways.

Used to happen pretty much regularly a few years ago. That's when I permanently switched to Adblock Browser on Android. Browsing GAF without being redirected had become literally impossible.

Use the EDGE chromium and these redirect are most likely cause by some extension in Chrome. Or you have more serious issue...

Simple uninstall doesn't get rid of pesky extensions, they are often lodged somewhere in profile and come back with reinstall.
Try Malwarebytes.

nah but i do use Firefox with custom (strict) enhanced tracking protection and extensions uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger so a lot of crap is blocked for me. no ads/pop ups/trackers and only essential cookies.

run malwarebytes and ditch Chrome

I used to have the same issues using Safari on iOS on multiple sites. A quick deletion of my cookies, which really is not much of an inconvenience for me, and it stopped. I haven’t seen it happen in awhile.

The annual cull has begun.
Dibs on the "Is anyone seeing ads for ..... on NeoGaf" thread.

Sometimes when I click a thread I get redirected into peoples having console wars.

After reinstalling Chrome, I ran Malwarebytes (free trial) and MS defender and neither found any issues, so maybe I'm in the clear now. It hasn't happened since, so fingers crossed.
