Default Amazon.com Winner

this only happens when using my iPad, but I get bombarded with a pop up that says I am a $1000 winner. The only way to stay on this site is to close and start over? This does not happen on my desk top? Any ideas on how to fix this?

I use AdGuard on my iPhone. It stopped the pop ups immediately after installing. It’s free.

I can’t be on for 1 minuet before I get the “winning” pop up. This is the only site it is happening on. I’m on my iPhone.

I use an Adblock app. It does not pop up any longer.

I downloaded the Firefox Focus browser for my phone specifically to surf this forum and the Corvette forum, both are suffering from the same intrusive pop-ups. It blocks all tracking and pop-ups and let's you know how many it blocked. it got to the point before I started using this browser that I couldn't surf either forum on my phone. Both forums are run with the same company/platform so the company responsible for selling ads sold us out.

I'll give a thumbs-up to Adblocker as well. Works as advertised.

The quote below was taken from a reply by one of our Moderators, it might be of interest to those that are having issues.


How to fix pop ups? Get a pop up blocker!!! I only use my iPad and I never see any at all. It's a simple fix when have them. Too bad there's not a stickie about pop ups...oh...there is. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/forum...his-issue.html
