Getting redirects to a fake Amazon page over the past couple days. Sends me to track.mitre.shop. Not seeing this from any other sites, so I don’t think it’s an issue with my browser.
Also getting these on my iPhone chrome browser
me too on my iphone. basically makes me close out and get back into CF.

No. That one must be based on your browsing history.
I was thinking maybe BC, as I was typing this, first I got the fake Amazon thing, then the Asian woman
Same, along with ads routinely crashing the page on mobile
I wonder if it is related to ads I see are still showing up in DuckDuckGo.
The ones I see there I believe were showing up in other people's browsers a couple of months ago and were reported here by others (using other browsers). I am not positive, but if not in this thread, they might have been reported in a different thread.
I'll provide more information below in case it helps.
I rarely use DuckDuckGo and deleted it from my iPhone shortly after those ads showed up and were reported here on CF. I don't believe I had ever seen any ads before in DuckDuckGo (on any site).
But after seeing this thread today, I looked at the Beta version of DuckDuckGo for Windows that I installed not long ago (but before the ad I'll show below started showing up). I see that ad server still showing up on DuckDuckGo.
I reinstalled DuckDuckGo on my iPhone today and also still see the ads there (only on CF).
Below is what an ad looks like on DuckDuckGo for iPhone. If you click another thread, a different ad appears in the same space. It's not too terrible, but again, I believe these might have been associated with bigger problems others were experiencing and reported here before (regarding other browsers). I'll post again to show what it looks like on Windows.
Whether related to reports here or not, it's something CF should be aware of.

Does anyone else have issues with the top bar (with the CF logo, your avatar, the notification symbol, etc. “detaching” as you scroll do it’s in the middle of the screen?
Edit: was able to get a screen shot not from the cave so used that.

It's just an empty ad server there though. When I click on the tab where it says "edge", this came up:
When I click on the opt-out link "here" at the bottom, this came up (in two parts):
The beta version of DuckDuckGo for Windows is their first version, I believe. I always liked what they have on iPhone.
I saw today that they have a new feature on the beta version for Windows, a VPN built into the browser. I downloaded the VPN also, tried it, and saw that it worked.
I also saw today that they are apparently syncing now across devices (which they weren't when that beta version came out a couple of months ago).

I appreciate the people involved on making this site possible. I frequent this more than any other and love that involve the community to make it a better experience. I have been on the Houston cougers board and didn't know if you ever thought of having something like that? I like that their posts happen in real time and no need to refresh the page. Just an idea but keep up the great work here .
That VPN on the DuckDuckGo Windows beta seems pretty nice. It is easy to use. It has connections in 7 U.S. cities, plus Canada, UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Spain. Unless you switch it off, it stays on even after the browser is closed.
That Edge thing disappears on connections outside the U.S.
