Mr.C Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I got a full page ad when I clicked this post. That's the 2nd I've had. It won't take much more before I'm permanently off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think Google got a bit over zealous, and made a change without my approval, I've logged in and manually switched it back to how it was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just got one myself after posting that above! What a nightmare! I've switched it off, hopefully will take effect soon. If it doesn't I'll see what else I can do. Definitely wouldn't have been my intention, those full screen ads are horrible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to add ad-blocker to Firefox, we can walk you through it if you would like to install it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely have no idea! It’s a tablet thing that my daughter bought me and set up for me. Sometimes I touch a button and don’t know what I’ve done and the kids have to put it right for me. I’m touching nothing except the (limited) bits I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
