Old farrier Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Here’s mine I know that the advertising pays to run the site but it’s getting a tad wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 2 hours ago, JKD said: Just to add,,,, this is only happening on PW and most ads are related or loosely related to the topic and subject I'm looking at. As said above,,,, some drop-downs are the same as the main and at the top of a page. I've gone through all possible parts of Google and Chrome and settings etc and turned off anything that was on and relating to ads or privacy. Perhaps it's a site setting and needs the boss ( @Teal ) to get involved ? Further to this,,,, no drop-down ads when the site sponsors ad (Browning) is showing ! 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Only thing with using a adblocker is when you go to open something up it asks you to disable your adblocker to allow there adverts or you cant open up the item you wanted to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those adverts are part of a paid deal, they are in the site make-up. Ad Blocker Plus will sort all the other problems out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues on my Samsung mobile, with Samsung Adblocker. Seems odd also, that others have the same issue all at the same time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 I've now managed to download the Adblocker Plus browser on my tablet. This is working nicely, so no more ads 🙂 Will only view PW on this browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
