I’ve been plagued with this lately... It’s getting so frequent that it’s becoming nearly impossible to use the forum. I’ve tried emptying history/cookies/website data, closing and restarting browser, desktop and mobile version. Help.  |

I’ve tried emptying history/cookies/website data, closing and restarting browser, desktop and mobile version. Help. Get Malwarebytes and start running it. I use a combo of Verizon-branded McAfee (service provider, no choice) and MB on the phone, and McAfee+MB+AdAware on the laptop. Also, get CCleaner and start doing deep-cleans with it like once a week. |

I run uBlock and am seldom bothered--I dropped Ghostery when I found out that while they block others tracking you, *they* do their own tracking instead. Just like Google/Facebook/etc.: "If you're not paying for the product... you ARE the product." |

This is happening to me on mobile (iPhone). Any advice?
I don’t mind regular ads as I know PB has to make $ somewhere, but that amazon “prize” ad is just a cancer.

On a mobile browser I don’t know that there’s much that can be done. If it helps I can say that when it popped up for me, it would only come up frequently for a few days then stop.
