I was pleasantly surprised a couple of days later when the hijacking stopped! Maybe it was just a coincidence. Now Imagebam is just slow and I get a lot of failed downloads on pics I try to save.

Imagebox has a different quirk. When I click to view a pic, it's on my screen for maybe two or three seconds before another pic in the set starts loading as if I'm watching a slide show. This will continue if I let it until it runs out of photos. At least it's easy enough to click the back button and save the pics, which never fail to save.

All of these problems are relatively recent developments that indicate to me that those sites are adding more scripts to their pages to harvest more information from our browsers. Selling that info covers their expenses while we use their sites for free.
That and more shady developers are making malware for phone operating systems nowadays with so many users. I suspect Android will continue to be the most at risk and easiest to hack since its open source.
