Annoying Popup Ads
Is there any way to get rid of the annoying popup ads? I know the site needs to generate funds to keep it going but these ads are annoying as hell. I didn’t see these pop up’s before.
It’s some type of news ad that pops up in the lower right corner. Once you click on the “X” it moves to the top of the screen.

In Chrome on android, right hand upper on screen, go to more settings and block popup ads and redirects.
Other browsers might have a different way.

AdBlock extension on Chrome is a great ad blocker.

I’m running iOS on iPad. Blockers are on for Safari but still getting through. Switched to Brave browser. Problem solved.

Yes me too. Its my favorite and my primary browser. However, every now and then it doesn’t work well on some website. I stay clear Google and Microsoft browsers. Also check out CyberGhost browser. It’s pretty good and the have a good VPN too.

Pop up video ads
Come on folks.
This isn't 1999. There shouldn't be popup ads, let alone videos.
I understand it costs $ to maintain a web forum, but it's outta hand.

Install an Ad Blocker and the ads go away.
