Hello Friends,
Off late I have observed that when visiting some websites (Clean ones),
especially where a form is to be filled, a spam advts tab opens in the
browser. It happens in Android as well as Ubuntu in Firefox. In my Ubuntu
laptop, I was on a sports shopping site and just when I clicked on Buy Now,
it opened a spam page, even playing an advt video.
What is this new phenomenon happening?
Regards,
Rony.

I haven't seen those on clean pages but I've had those on before on a
few "content providers of questionable legality". What a lot of sites do
is add a invisible box in front of the whole page which links to an
advertisment pop up. Maybe one of the embeded advertisments is able to
use that technique.
I don't think it's a virus or a rouge extention since it's happening on
both your phone and PC. Maybe someone else might have a better Idea

It's almost fishy the number of scripts that site tries to load.
The registration page wants to load >20 scripts.

I think these advts are positioned at form filling portions of a page and
may be gathering information from the form data.

I went to the link and it opened the registration page on a new tab
w/o any ad/spam tab *but* my access is from the US. This was in
Chrome [a]; with very few extensions from Google and LinkedIN active.
I wonder if VPN would mitigate this annoyance.
I also use dnsmasq (localhost) DNS resolver with extension to block
"suspect" sites [b]. It has helped clean up a lot of pop ups in my
browsing, even those injected by the web sites in question.
Try disabling/removing any extension and the dnsmasq technique.
PS - agree with GN about https. It's a shame that web site owners
don't want to go through LetsEncrypt setup to secure the site with
https.

I have had similar experience. The interesting thing though was that I
didn't see the same behaviour with the same sites on other machines. So,
I guess the reason had to be some extension that was installed. I didn't
have the time & patience to check which one was the culprit, as the
concerned browser installation had quite some extension installed. I
just uninstalled & re-installed firefox and then didn't install any of
the extension. Working fine now.

Please check the site you are trying to load, I guess this happens only
on those sites that are not on https. This is my guess. These
advertisements are not embedded on the server side, but were injected
along the way since the transmission is not encrypted. This behavior
will disappear only when all websites run on https.
I sent a complaint to www.thehindu.com, when this happened, requesting
them to convert to https.
Do you think it is because of MTNL? Did other ISPs also have
experienced this problem?

Its done by MTNL as an ISP
My software website was breaking because of it.
Using https solved the problem for me.
All clients were using MTNL

I sent a complaint to www.thehindu.com, when this happened, requesting
them to convert to https.
Do you think it is because of MTNL? Did other ISPs also have

5:51 p.m.
a simple method is to add the unholy url to /etc/host with ip set to 127.0.0.1
I use a proxy, Apart from ghostery, adbloc plus and privacy badger.
So the above host entry takes care of android too.
