Repeated pop up attempts

Today, while browsing MN, I have had repeated warnings that the site is attempting to open a pop up window.

I’ve never had this before - what’s changed? Is it legit? I’ve blocked each pop up attempt, so no idea what it is trying to open, or why.

(I’m browsing using an iPad mini, on Safari, iOS 11.2ish)

And me, repeatedly today also. One of those "you have won an iPhone" ones, which ironically has just appeared again as I've been typing this sentence.

Looks like this, with a further pop-up that you have to click OK on as it locks the screen.

Me too. Also on iPad Mini using Safari. It’s annoying.

Me too. Chrome on android phone.

I've just had this twice using the mobile site. It's a bloody 'you've won a £million if you click now!' thing.

Me too. Also not had it before.
