Odd Pop-Up ads

I've been getting these odd pop-up ads on FA for a couple of days, and they only show up on FA. I was wondering if this is normal now, something on my end (like spyware) or what. They are usually for Amazon or other sites, and not even furry related. https://photos.app.goo.gl/65XjA7WCBu9hYK676

I've been getting them as well, I've only been there a couple of months now, but they just started, I was wondering myself. I was wondering if I needed to install another adblocker, and yes they are basically store spam ads, or buy insurance, or ETC

Ive had a couple local ads for political campaigns pop up. And random campaigns like for county clerk.

I’ve been getting them for the last week. Was actually asking around to see if anyone else was getting ‘em too. Glad to know it ain’t just me.
 
*laughs in ublock origin*
I have UBlock Origin installed as an extension in Chromium as well, and one of these slipped through as an in-browser notification (akin to a new F-Chat notification when its tab isn't in focus) back in July of 2022. That instance, I recall, is not entirely akin to those shown above, but it was still worth being concerned, ironically in a way because of the adblockers I sustain use of and which very, very rarely malfunction or let something as blatant as either slip through.
