two month later belated post-mortem: so i figured you might find it kind of amusing as to what the bug on the website was :D
turns out those 'free website hit counter' sites where you copypaste the javascript for your counter are jam packed with viruses/malware/etc, so it was the old hit counter! (which explains why it only popped up on that one site and the one browser lol).
ended up basically following a 10 minute API tutorial here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8GS-8nlekY ) which feels pretty dang safe given you're making your own from ... well, not scratch, but much closer to scratch.
