I'm afraid that website was hacked. It only redirects me to fraudulent raffles and casino stuff such as https://cdn.aucey.com/sweeps-survey/1034/es.html

Rogue browser extensions are very rare these days. When people get redirected to malicious sites, it's almost always either due to the site having an infected WordPress installation or using a sketchy ad network.

That's often true. However, in this case when visiting the linked page[0] I am able to connect and view the article without issue.

Some details:

Location: USA

Browser: Firefox 128.14.0esr

Ublock Origin running with mostly default settings

Perhaps there's a location blocking issue and/or malware that targets certain locations/browser types?
