It's saying the ads are harmful if you click on them, not Newgrounds.

Fair enough. Good point.
However, if newgrounds hosts an advert linking to, or if the advert itself is merely redirected from that site. Then there can easily be a problem, if you get what I mean?

I dunno, Chrome has never done that to me, that's odd indeed.

That happened to me once. I just refreshed and it went away. As someone said previously, it's probably the ads that are triggering that.


I laugh at your sigs!

Well. If it's happened to several people on this thread at least, then it must be a problem. Surely.

Nah, Newgrounds isn't harmful, unless you enjoy being an optimist.
