Bobba Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Currently in Prague and the Ads keep popping up here. Thing is, their in Czech so I haven’t a clue what their on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 its possible you may have given consent for these adverts, out of curiosity I disabled adblocker and low and behold this pops up, dont think this would be installed by the owner of pigeon watch as these ads would be disruptive to your viewing (as you know) it might be worth someone in the mods having a look at this consent pop up.

welsh1 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 The cookie consent option is a standard request that you will get when going onto a lot of sites, i always go to manage options and then reject all or allow only essential cookies. I have a vpn and ad blocker on my laptop and phone and get no adverts, my works computer has only ad blocker and ad blocker plus and i get no adverts. @ditchman , downloading ad block plus or ad block won't infect your computer, they will sometimes ask you for a donation, but just click off it if you don't want to pay.https://adblockplus.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While one hates to disagree. The WiFi was working Set up AB and it stopped. Although my android tablet worked fine(not got AB on there) my phone didn't. Upon disentanglment the WiFi reconnected. Now may be it stopped my phone connecting rather than owt else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
