How do I stop this fecking thing taking over my web page and saying i’ve been chosen for a prize. It’s happened ten times on the trot and i can’t get out of it without closing the internet window on my phone

It only happens on this site
 
I have used Brave as my browser for some time now. It effectively blocks advertising and pop ups.

I use it on an IPhone and IPad, and downloaded it for free from the App Store. I expect it works just as well on Android.

You don’t have to put up with intrusive advertising bo11ocks on this site, just the football bo11ocks.
 
Unfortunately we got hit by this rogue ad over the weekend. It’s not approved by vital. They’ve been trying to knock it on the head all weekend.

It affected other websites as well. Infuriating for everyone.
 
Hardly what I’d call a “rogue ad” DJ.

I’d class a rogue ad as one of those ones Vitals used to specialise in that went to a full screen animated splash which you could shut down when you found the little x in the corner.

This was nothing short of a continuing browser hi-jack.

Coming directly after the warning about how unsafe this website was - very prescient - earlier yesterday doesn’t give one a huge amount of confidence in things (either security or the tech) here.

It may well have affected other websites, but none I visited.

I’ll give Brave a go - though if you use Adblocky stuff - quite often get whiny messages about ad revenue from many sites.
