Throwing an additional anecdote into the bucket, this did not happen for me. Any chance you have a dodgy extension installed?

Sure you didn't just make a typo and hit a squatted domain?

did not think of that, maybe it's this. i tried a couple typos just now and holy shit most of these are registered and you land on some really dodgy shit, i.e. porn and sites that seem to try out browser exploits. did not find the scam site from earlier, but can't count it out either.

do not go to sites like xancel.com, xcancl.com, xcncl.com .. they are not safe. damn typoswatters.

Doubt. xcancel.com does not even seem to have any advertisements at all, when I disable ublock. Site seems remarkable clean, no thirdparty connections apart from a cdn. Sure you didn't type cancelx.com? Cause there something shady is going on. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest checking your extensions or system for malware.
