Brave browser has integrated ad blocker (IIRC). Could be reason it blocks the redirect and it doesn't for Chrome.

I don't get any redirects but I do run uBlock Origin Lite in my Chrome.

On my iPhone I’m getting the same on every other page or so. Here’s the site I get:

https://baruthotels.com/tr?utm_source=p ... gLuxvD_BwE

Very annoying. Redirects should be firmly banned.

Definitely browser dependant. I'd guess the privacy features of brave are blocking the redirect.

I have not been seeing these for awhile, but got one today. it was a redirect to safebytetech dot live. Anti-virus software blocked the redirect. Google says the site is known for phishing and malware. As before, I suspect it is likely caused by malvertising (bad actors using advertisement platform)
