chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Then, look for "Framebusting requries same-origin or a user gesture" and change the status from "default" to "enabled."

Finally, restart your browser.

Since doing this, I've found that the ads still pop up but they don't hijack your tab. Instead, the ad opens a new tab (or two or three!) which you can close and continue on the site.

I hope this solution works for everyone, it comes from what appears to be a reliable source.

I was using the site via mobile on New Year's Day and I was getting redirected every time I came to the site within 30 seconds or so of browsing. Never had that happen before. It was totally unusuable. I managed to setup the blocker thing that story suggested, and then I could browse, but I was getting 3 or 4 notifications of blocked redirects every 30 seconds or so for as long as I browsed the board.

I had given up visiting the site using the mobile option. Forced to do so a bit while participating in the fantasy football pool. So painful. :(

If you have an Android device, have you tried story's fix that he posted?

I reported the major take over issue with screen shots od the ad and the links defined a week ago. This same ad and same links are still one week later trying to take over my phone. How long after we report an issue should we expect a fix.

I'm glad the work-around I've found and posted here is helpful to so many of you.

I do wish it wasn't necessary and I also wish we'd see some response in this thread from IB about this issue. May we please have an update on where we are with you and your ad partner? This truly has to stop.
