Nothing on Firefox for Android. Sure it's the ads, and not some malicious auto-installing Chrome add-on? I have to clean those off of my buddy's Windows laptop.
 
Using FF 61.0.2 with AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin. Stop the assault or kill the website's revenue stream. That's a toughy. 😎
 
I get it on Safari on my iPhone. Makes me want to cry. Have to close the window and find whatever thread I was reading.
 
I can't stand these ads. Getting them on this website andmany others. This is on a brand new phone w chrome
 
Just experienced the same thing on my PC, Windows 7 with Firefox 61.0.1 but saying I have been "selected to receive a free $1,000 Walmart Gift Card". Here are the complete URLs I was redirected to (within the same tab as Anandtech Forums) in chronological order:

I have no add-ons or plugins installed in Firefox except for the default installed by Mozilla. Malwarebytes reveals no PUPs.
 
AFAIK, only MB Premium handles PUPs as malware based on user choice.
Also, it looks like Chrome is complicit as well.
