Clicking on a thread from the forums main page resulted in a full-screen page, with a repeating Yes/No popup and an attempt to steal browser data - see the extension that it tries to install in the background!
This is seriously nasty stuff, and I have to say that FT is having more and more of these 'issues'. Especially on mobile this is a problem, but sometimes - like this time - even on a full desktop version.

Had to kill chrome to prevent it from installing the plugin. Looking at the plugin description it seems that over 30K people have already fallen victim of this BS app:

To be clear, such extension that reads all data sent from/to websites has one single purpose: Steal user login credentials. From hacked Facebook accounts, to Paypal, to online banking.
I own a few websites myself and fully understand and support the usage of ads. But please do make sure to deal with honest and proper brokers - as this is going much, much too far!
