Very intrusive ads?

Post Reply New Topic

In addition to those ads that appear after the first post of the thread in the window, I've been getting ads that automatically redirect from WP on my iPhone. So I can't read the WP forum threads. For the last hour or so it was happening on every page of WP that I opened. What's going on?

I just got one using google chrome that re-directed me off the site with a pop-up when I tried to click a subforum "Are you sure you want to leave this site? Blah blah special offer" I clicked the x, which turned out to be a fake X that re-directed me to a site with malware

Look up ad-blocking browsers for your phone. I use Apollo when browsing sites that have ads on them. I don't know if you have to pay for Apollo though. I've used it for so long that I have forgotten. XD I use Apollo on both my iPhone and my iPad, and it's just as effective as Ad-block is on Firefox and Chrome.

Edit: I googled Apollo Browser on my laptop, and it looks like it is free. I'd consider giving it a try if you want to get rid of all the ads. I'm not sure about android or anything though. I only have iOS right now, so I can't speak for the others. :/ I'm pretty sure it has zooming capabilities, but that might depend on the site itself. I've never used Apollo on my phone before and only my iPad. Since my iPad is bigger than my phone, I don't really need to zoom in to a website or anything.
