do you have malwarebytes? https://www.malwarebytes.org/
I would run a scan

my overly protective browser add ons let me get there so it can't be too bad. you probably just have adware

I used to run ad block plus until they started letting people buy the right to not have ads blocked. That defeats entire purpose of software so I swapped to Ublock origin.
I always install Adblock Plus and never get this kind of thing. You could possibly have picked up some malware somewhere, so to be sure you could download Malwarebytes and do a scan with it. It's free and works well. The scan usually takes less than 20 min.

Good luck.
