Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Good news for those that browse with Chrome. On the 15th Chrome will block all ads that are not compliant with the Better Ads Standard:

Only 10 more days to wait... If it helps once it's implemented...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Just happened on my S7. I was on the TV talk forum page, but not actively browsing (I'd set my phone down). When I picked it up it had a "warning" about a virus. I've also seen the Amazon ads screenshotted above too.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

I am seeing a pattern here. It is the same ad that seems to be outsmarting.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

This site was ridiculous with that Amazon redirect. The site would literally redirect on mobile the second you opened it to spam sites.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Got the exact same one yesterday when showing to browse on my phone. This site is basically unusable if you are on a phone.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Thankfully I have the pop-up blocker work around previously shared in this thread.

I wish I could do screen video captures like I do still screenshots. Cause when it gets to 6-10 blocks in a row in the same thread while not even scrolling, I could provide video proof the site's ads are broken again maybe even worse than before.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

I gave up on the mobile site (and visiting the forum less because of that) a while go, and saw this thread and gave it a whirl again to see if I see what you guys are. Yep, and I would say it's even worse than before, mobile site is unusable.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

I disabled Javascript on my mobile browser and haven't gotten a hijack in weeks.

**knocks on wood** Hope it lasts!

What's the OS? Android or iOS?

I'm getting killed on iOS. Can't even use the site. Every page redirects me to the Amazon bullcrap.

Same here. iOS/Safari and I stopped even trying a couple weeks back. Completely unusable.

iOS - disabled in Safari and literally haven’t gotten one since I did it (and other sites that hijacked too).

Keep getting spam sites when going to this site?

So when I use my iPhone, and go to this full site, I’ll be in a thread for a mere few seconds and it auto goes to a spam site. Keeps happening. Stopped for awhile but back again.

Any solution?

Nope, you are alone, never heard anyone complain about that.
