pop ups on TBN??

[GeneV]

As a long time TBN member, but not very active until I have a need for specific information about something, I don't comment on posts but do a lot of research here.

My question is does anybody else find these D--n pop up ads EXTREMELY ANNOYING?

How can you get rid of them besides closing each one separately? Hopefully this can be done without having to pay (ransome!!).

I dunno if I've got the same thing as you, but in my case when I'm on this site on my phone, a full-screen add for Zejula cancer medication pops up, sometimes with a short video playing. It happens more often at night, and only happens when I'm viewing a thread. When I hit the back button, it takes me back to a previous page than the one I was on when the add popped up. If I don't hit the back button, scrolling down continues the page I'm on when the add popped up.

I use the Chrome browser with no ad-ons, and I don't get pop ups, just some regular ads on the page that aren't very obtrusive.

To clarify, your ads aren't requesting a ransom, correct? That could be a separate issue.

I don't believe that that is a Tractor By Net ad, as I recall the owner has said several times that he does not use pop-up ads.
I suspect that you have a malicious extension in your browser which is adding those pop-ups and other ads to your browsing experience.

Most likely, although I tried various methods to find the offending app which sideloaded addware, so far found nothing unusual.
