Default Pop up ad appears but only on this site

Lately I've been getting a very annoying pop up ad. Not sure if its legit or some kind of scam. Only seems to appear when I'm browsing the forums on this site. Anyone else getting this one?

I was a little hesitant after reading that some ad blocking apps contain malware.
Installed ad blocker and so far, so good.

I was also getting notifications abt every 10 min night and day. Had to put phone in airplane mode to sleep. Found the notifications were coming thru Chrome. Disabled Chrome and just using the Ad Blocker browser now. Seems to be working just fine. Thx for the tip SB.

The site is infected and has been for months. OSO and their parent clearly don't know what they are doing / don't give a crap

Opera browser has its own ad blocker, I've been using it for years, works great. Before that I used AdBlock Plus, also worked great.
