    Yep, these are a click-bait generators, seemingly a fishing site. According to WhoIs it points to a Czechia located site.

    You need to block "https://loginrubbishobey.com/" in your browser security settings to prevent the generator from going there. Or even better, block it in your PC "hosts" file (On Windows usually located in folder "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc").

    For that you will need to add this line in "hosts" file: 127.0.0.1 loginrubbishobey.com

    The file is 'read-only' (by default anyway, this is to prevent inadvertent/illicit modifications) so it's a bit of a hassle when you're not familiar with OS and folder manipulation.

    And make sure to prevent/block the site from creating cookies in your browser security.

    Should you wonder: the IP address 127.0.0.1 redirects to your own device. Essentially you are saying to your device "when you're instructed to go to 'loginrubbishobey.com', just go back to my device". Using IP address 0.0.0.0 will have the same effect. You can add any number of unwanted sites to the list this way.
