I tried others browser myself now, I always use Opera+uBlock origin and works just fine, no ads at allI did. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome. I have two adblockers in my primary browser, as it happens, and half the time they'd also warn me against any pages the links tried to open. I tried turning them both off as an experiment and that's when my AV stepped in to block the horrors that tried to flow forth.
I think a lot of these ad-based link sites use rotating sources for their ads. Sometimes I can get through them and get a download link without too much issue, other days my various defences step in en masse to stop a wall of malicious content. I'll wager different advertisers (i.e. the ones who pay more) have different and/or more unpleasant "payloads", and it's just luck which one you get on any given day. Not the first time I've known link sites that some people use without issue, while others find nothing but landmines.
Chrome+Adblock also works
I've issues with Firefox
I think your AV plays a role here, too invasive antispyware maybe
