ADS

[CrossboneIU22 1,366]

Is there a way you can get rid of ads. Every single click I’m getting a fricken ad pop up or drop down window from the top of the screen. It’s becoming very annoying. I don’t remember this being an issue before today or even last week.  It pops up on the full screen and I have to dismiss it every time. It’s not like your normal embedded ad(s) that show up on the page like between posts or at the end or whatnot.

Moderators? Any help or advice?

DM Hovadipo, I think he helped someone out last week.

I can’t turn off ads lol. If you don’t want them, download an adblocker.

@CrossboneIU22 you may have better luck with the Firefox browser instead of Chrome/Safari if you're on mobile.

I don’t care about having ads, I get it, need to make money to support the site but it’s that they are popping up on my screen every time I touch the screen it seems. I don’t recall it being this bad before today. I didn’t know if something happened with the site today or something?  Thanks for the replies all.
 

And yes I do realize that was actually what my first sentence said but I really just meant so many or the technical type of ads (not content, I know you have no control over that).

missed your initial question, yes they have been like this as far as I can remember. The drop downs are crazy on my iPhone, not as bad on Mac book.  The ones in-between switching pages is ridiculous on the iPhone, not as bad on Mac book.

Thanks all. I downloaded an ad blocker for Safari and the ads are gone. Hope it’s not a trial version. Thanks again.

I started using Duck Duck Go as my browser and I don't get popup ads any more just like they advertise.
