Wow, great to see how responsible Salon is being with their ad network, after they decided to inflict cryptocurrency-mining malware on their visitors who use ad-blockers. It's like the Forbes thing, but stupider.

salon.com should be considered a compromised site that is unsafe to visit.

I didn't get any message like that in IE11 and Chrome.
I'm seeing this also. It also completely locked up chrome on this machine.
Are those of you getting the problem on mobile devices?

I get those every single time on tvguide.com on a mobile user agent when using the time/date pulldowns.
