About 99% of all websites contain advertisements. This site (Apple Support Communities) is one of very few that do not.

But did those first websites looks suspisios to you like card finder and superuser?

I am not familiar with them, nor any that end in pink. There is no reason to believe they are malicious though.

The popup you encountered and described in your original post was entirely bogus. Its appearance is no need for concern. These things pop up like crabgrass.
