    Sounds like @ipaman just wants a safeplace.

    I posted about this issue in the other feedback thread (including pics). I’m still getting the pop-up, redirect ads constantly on this site... and ONLY on this site. And like the OP, I feel like it’s gotten worse lately. I primarily use an iPhone X to browse CF.net.

    If anyone has an idea how I can block these ads from the phone side, please let me know.

    I have the same experience on my iPhone. I don’t think it’s happened on my iPad, but not sure. I use Chrome on my phone, if that helps at all.

    I’m having the Amazon pop up nearly every time I click a thread the last day or two. I am using Safari on iPhone.

    Even with your supporting member status and no ads? I was getting it on my Android phone outside of CF. Seems like it was prevalent on USA Today.

    For these re-direct Amazon ads, I use the desktop version of the chrome browser on my iPad and that solves the problem. I believe safari has the ability to select desktop version as well.

    Just an FYI: becoming a supporting member didn't help. Couldn't even post this message (got interrupted by the pop-up every time) until I switched to my PC. Frustrating...

    These are the steps:
    1. Tap and hold the Refresh button in the URL bar.
    2. Tap Request Desktop Site.
    Unfortunately that didn't help either. But thanks for the info anyway.

    I've gotten this issue on two sites when I visit on iphone. One is this, the other is fangraphs. From what I remember in a comment on fangraphs, the issue is from google ads which sometimes the ads come from malicious parties who's ads are designed to redirect you rather than just showing you the ad.

    To me this makes sense both in why people can't seem to get rid of it as well as why so few people have it. And why I only have it for the sports sites I visit. Since google ads are targeting individual preferences and they can change based on your browsing history, which, of course isn't static. Regardless not much you can do I don't think.

    The double standard here is astounding. Certain users break rules here all the time and get away with it but when one controversial user does it they want his head cut off.

    Your earlier post said:
    According to the info from Clutch, only Gold supporting membership comes with an ad-removal pass.
    You might want to ask Clutch if you can have your current yearly membership upgraded to Gold by paying more or if there's a way for you to try Gold membership for a month for $10 and see how it works with your phone.

    Although I haven't experienced pop-ups, I can see how frustrating they have been to you. Good luck.

    Happens to my iphone and ipad, amazon/winner redirect. Or was happening every time last week at least, haven't tested lately with those devices to see if it is still.

    If you're using Android on Chrome, update to the latest version. They were supposed to address the aggressive popup issue.

    I still get the redirect, but I can use the back button to exit out some of them now.
