Yesterday I couldn’t use this site due to pop ups as described on here before, but now it’s so much worse and I have to close PistonHeads to get rid of it. I check back in and POW, the bd thing is back again. This is my 6th try just to post this.
Can somebody make the tech guys aware please because I’m sure it’s not just me experiencing this.
I’m off to another site now as this one is just a pain.

It’s made it pretty much unusable! Every time I start scrolling down a page I suddenly win an iPad and have to reload!

Since yesterday I have started getting pop ups from this url:

https://eu.wonderfulgiftto.icu——-

This only happens on PistonHeads and does affect any other site that I regularly visit.

I have tried resetting all Web data on my iPhone but it still happens.

Unlikely on any day, but certainly not on a Sunday.

Pi-Hole is brilliant for home networks, you can use any browser and never see an ad and it works for any internet connected device I.e. mobile phones, TVs, computers

A bit technical for the average user I think...

Ads and scripts slow the internet down a lot. Brave is just Chrome with built in content blockers.

Yes I use uBlock via firefox and what is amazing is that I didn't even realise there were any popups..., however now I look in top right, 17 of the fkers.

Quite frankly that's a fking disgrace....!

I am also getting the ‘hello iPad user you have won an amazon voucher pop up’ recently.

If it’s a new advert triggering it then it should be pulled unless it’s a deliberate ploy to piss people off.
