When visiting this blog post on my Android phone, the ads (or something) redirect me to a page with popups telling me my phone has a virus and encouraging me to install an app to 'clean' it, using Google branding on some dodgy domain. I seem to get a different one each time. Reported it at https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ but mentioning here so that others don't fall victim to it.

Easy to see for yourself that this happens by using user agent spoofing in your browser's dev tools: http://i.imgur.com/vlLV8PW.png http://i.imgur.com/vlLV8PW.png Hard to track what exactly is causing this because of the ~200 requests this website makes before redirecting your browser. The article itself links archive.org's copy of the article which I would recommend using over the original website since it appears to be free of malicious redirects: http://web.archive.org/web/20151230152933/http://linuxfonts.narod.ru/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html http://web.archive.org/web/20151230152933/http://linuxfonts....

The site is now blacklisted for Chrome users. I've emailed the author letting him know about this issue.
