Adblock Plus is my adblocker of choice, and I’ve found it to be a very useful tool in combating obtrusive advertisements. Only problems I’ve had with it are on sites that ask for you to turn off your adblocker |

If you can get a screenshot of the ad for us, that would help greatly. And I agree with Pudding; an adblocker usually clears that problem right up. If it doesn't, I recommend running a virus scan on your device, since there's also the possibility that the issue is being caused by adware. I personally use Malwarebytes for this, but if you have antivirus software that you prefer/trust, that works too. |

It's been around for a .... while, and been reported before, but at the very least it used to be a lot less frequent. I have no idea how this ad stuff works but I'm pretty sure it's not intentional, and also not a problem with just our devices. The only way to get rid of it right now is adblock (or subbing to the patreon but that's not an option for most), but yeah I feel like by this point it requires investigation :0 |

Thanks for letting us know. |
