I can't reproduce that. And I don't see any indication of any connection to yandex through the inspector when I go to kbin.social.

Could it be that you have some malware installed in your PC? Have you seen this or similar download pop-ups in other sites?

This has only appeared while on kbin, while browsing all. I am not on PC, but on mobile.

Ah! I checked with my phone and I see this:

Maybe this pop up shows up like that to you?

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s not the pop up I saw. It looked exactly like my screenshot, and appeared at the bottom of my screen.

But did you also see this pop-up? What I am thinking is that maybe your phone processed it diferently

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

No, I have never seen that pop up. Should I be seeing it? It looks like an ad for an unnamed app that is also showing a random kbin thread
