Open software updater??

Recently while browsing tftv, I randomly get redirected to some mock Google Chrome page telling me that it needs to update my "open software" and it's quite obviously a scammy sort of thing.

This is only happening on my desktop, and only on tftv, nowhere else. Is this happening to anyone else?

I'm scanning my computer at this moment, and I double checked that I do not have any sketchy "open software" add ons in my browser or my computer.

Any help would be appreciated

Could be something like that? Is anyone else getting it?

embIt looks like some ads on Google Adsense are causing the redirects. This is not ETF2L specific and affects all sites using Google Ads, big or small.

I’ve blocked the known bad ads, but fixing all of them is at Google’s mercy

I got it a while back when I clicked on an ad unintentionally. It wasn't that hard to clean out, though.
