Forums - Website Topics - A new breed of ads...

I can forgive and forget when ads are plastered all over the page and become a small nuisance. However, I can't do that for these ads. As soon as you load the page, a video ad plays and locks position on it, so you can't scroll down or up for the entire duration of the ad, which was one minute on my case. It gets even funnier when the ad plays again many seconds later and you have to stop typing. When ads prevent you from seeing the content of the page, you know it's invasive and it needs to be taken care of swiftly.

I would if I could. I'm in my college computer between breaks and these computers don't allow you to install add-ons.

This might be strange solution but I highly recommend it when using highschool or college computers. Rabb.it , which basically is like if you were running a browser virtually on a different machine. You do have to sign up for HD, and you do have to have level of trust to the website. I use it for easy access to things like American Netflix or HBOGo. 



 

VCG has ads?



Update to supporter status and problem solved .

I have this problem on my phone, exactly as you describe it.

The fix: I shut off JavaScript in my phone's browser and problem solved.
