Ads aren’t spyware.

But yeah, you should probably install an adblocker. Plenty of options from the App Store but personally I use adguard.

Edit:
Usually I force close safari and then quickly remove the ad tab when I encounter the “winner” stuff.

I've cleared all my safari data, but at random times on hwz forum page, it'll still change to an ad or 'scam' message which I can't go back
