Comment:

 That "screenshot2" one is not an error, it's a website trying to scam you.
 A way out is installing a /etc/hosts which blocks such things (the only
 way we have to block ads currently). This could also improve browser
 stability as ads tend to be quite intrusive these days. Things were much
 simpler when they were using Flash, we could just ignore them then.
