Weird site opening in chrome

Can someone help me figure out what's going on? This site : https://eu.generationyconsumertrends.xyz/4f9035fabc7de901270a4c6f884d9ac5/index.html?ip=82.169.100.163&siteid=YjY0MzYzMzkyNjk4MTQzNjk3MyMxNTkxNTMzMDA0QDU3MTFAX2M0NjRkN2FmM2M4YTMwZjBhOTQ4NDc0NjYwM2FiNTg4&trackid=202006071230112616

Keeps opening.

Especially when I don't press anything for awhile, so while I'm reading articles on the guardian for instance.

I've just narrowed it down to certain ads being on screen causing a redirect without me selecting the ad. That has to be illegal...

Sounds like you may have your browser hijacked. I'd run a scan with Malwarebytes or something similar and see if it picks up something.

didn't find anything. I think it was some weird ass advert.

Yeah, probably an XSS attack. The ad is able to exploit a vulnerability in the target site allowing it to run certain scripts like page redirects.

Speaking of annoying goings ons, my dog keeps shaking his head and rubbing his head on the couch. I'm thinking an XXS attack.

He's exasperated by the disaster that is Georgia's attempt at having an election and doesn't understand why you can't just use paper and pencil like a sensible society.

I just told the man with the mask behind the desk who I wanted to vote for and he put a tic mark next to the name and then I went home. I don't see what the big deal is.
