Getting redirects past couple days on Android. F1T intermittently getting marked by Chrome as 'deceptive', unsafe site.

Not good.
Strangely though, I don't get any popups, redirects or any other sort of annoying ads.
Maybe Belgium is not interesting for advertising

Yep, got that too, on my phone earlier today (then got back behind PC and didn't think more of it).

Worth checking if the address you guys are connecting to https:// or http://
A lot of naughty things can be injected over http, so always prefer secure https (should have a little padlock next to the address in the title).

Mine is https. Still happens. I rememeber when this happened many months ago, it also affected other sites, recefans comes to mind. So it might be related to the providers (or not).

It is most certainly related to the providers.
We don't really have an influence on that ads that get displayed. It's the ad provider that deals with the ad networks, and tries to serve the best performing ad for the circumstances.
Experience has shown that my complaints about certain ads are being picked up, but it seems like the checking is not watertight, and after a while, similar ads get served again.
So, what helps is details about the ad served, so that I can push that onto the ad server guys. Other than that, I can't do much at all I'm afraid.

In which countries is it happening? The users that wrote here and have a visible location seem to be in Holland and Denmark. Any other countries?
