The site has a long scrolling thing which presents a box called "Continue". If clicked on, that yields a popup that says "Checking compatibility" and then loads some page called "Manuals Explorer", which then tries to install a browser extension.
The hostile code seems to come from "html-load.com".
Suggest avoiding "buzzfeednews.com" for hosting hostile code.
