I wanted to check out a few tutorials from gifmakers tonight, but when I wanted to visit some people's blogs (on the "url.tumblr.com" domain) I was automatically redirected to what seems like a spam website? This "Alitools" was one of the few that I was constantly redirected to... I tried on both Brave (logged in) and Microsoft Edge (logged out) and kept running into the same issue.

I included a gif of what happens when I look up someone's blog... One of my friends had the same issue with the same links, the other friend had no issues whatsoever. Does anyone know what the hell is going on???

Edit: I can see a Tumblr blog's archive ("url.tumblr.com/archive") without issue, but when I click back to the blog I am immediately redirected again.

! UPDATE
Theme maker phantomcodes figured out what was making their custom themes redirect to random websites - you can find the post and fix here: https://www.tumblr.com/phantomcodes/817056066799042560/blogs-not-loading-on-desktop - thank you to u/admiralisabela for sharing!
