What in the 9 heck's has been going on here Muhammad?!?

No hits, no runs, no errors. No 403, no adds no videos. Never log out, stay logged in 24/7/365. Don't have a clue what you guys are going thru.

Pretty much the same here except a minor annoyance on my iPhone that has not recurred in a while.

Happy me

Obviously clearing caches, cookies, history and running add blocking apps etc...is not the solution...

In my case, the 403 errors were fixed by clearing the cache and cookies therefore the problem was obviously something that was incorrectly cached on my computer.
That is why I suggested it.

Generally a 403 often recurs because of a cached page...but the actual error that originally caused the 403 is on the server side not the user side...That's why clearing the cache etc often will solve the current problem...but it does nothing to actually fix the problem that caused the server to throw the error in the first place...

Agree. When I read that I did likewise and it cleared the only aggravation, the 403's.

/pine I think this and the simple adblockers are in fact sufficient to solve the stated difficulties.

Possibly but only IF every device had the exact same configuration of hardware and software...unfortunately with the millions and millions of Internet devices out there I doubt there are more than a few that are configured exactly the same...

FWIW...In SOME cases...it is the ad blocking software on a device that blocks a server side script from loading an ad...that in return causes the server to throw an error...i.e., a 403 etc...!
once that happens the page is cached on said device and it recurs...!
