Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

And as I was attempting to get a screenshot of the 25+ blocked redirects... It actually redirected me... So I didn't catch that one... Ugh

Don't want to jinx anything, yet wanted to say it has been a few days with no popup blocks..

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Off topic but I have block pop ups on for Chrome on iOS and I never see those notifications about how many are blocked. And I can’t figure out why not. Any thoughts?

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

I am using Chrome on Android. I used the work around provided somewhere in this thread. The pop-up blocker notifications, etc were there after setting it up.

Not sure. Just thank the Internet gods that have smiled upon you.

b2net, we shut off another ad network, so let's cross our fingers. Some MIGHT slip through, I've been told, but not nearly as bad as before.

Good to hear. My hope is that none slip through and we are finally on the other side of the redirects...

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

mentioned this in the android form - I disabled chrome and installed Microsoft edge on my S8 plus - not only did it fix this issue (so far no issues at all) my browsing is much faster and smoother overall.

And again. Along with now that Post Image free image hosting site changed from .org to .cc so most of the old pictures we've posted will no longer show....

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Its not just you guys. This week I get redirects whenever I fire up my mobile browser - which immediately reminds me to close Chrome, turn my ad-blocking VPN back on, and try again.

The bad news is that the site ends up getting zero ad revenue from me, because the VPN blocks +all+ ads (legit ones as well as redirects). This is hurting IB one tiny cut at a time.

I hate being forced to block ads, but if the choice is to do that or not to be able to even use the site at all....

Good luck getting this fixed.

Virus spam ads going crazy today on this site. Without blocking them, there would be no way to read the forum at all from my phone.

I’ve had some occasional iOS hijaaks the last few days, after a few weeks of peace.

Re: Ads redirecting on mobile

Here is the same ad with the same attempted redirect hitting me in the thread where we are discussing ads that cause redirects.. I've shared this particular culprit many times.

Damn, 6 pop ups and a redirect on one page in political memes. Chrome trick posted before working over time

Was it this ad... Because any time I see this one, it is 4, 6, or 8 blocked redirects... No matter which thread I am in... Getting ridiculous again..
