Ask HN: Is HN Hacked?

Are you running any browser extensions?

Check what sites permissions are, what can send 'notifications' to you and clear them out. That is a big source of these things.

Did you open the web developer console and capture the URL that is being loaded? If you happened to capture the URL's I would suggest saving the logs as plain text and emailing as an attachment to hn@ycombinator.com for dang to review.

What was the voice saying? If it was not understandable, why?

Was it some Text-to-speech feature in your browser maybe?<p>edit: You may be able to find the audio file in your browser cache

UPDATE: turns out this is happening not only on HN in my browser, so definitely its from my side.

Are you sure it was HN, or some similar misspelled domain?

Maybe a bug in Chrome

Which version of Chrome and OS?
