I'm not a paid member, and haven't seen a pop-up in over a year when using Brave browser on my Android. Every once in awhile I'll forget to switch browsers, and visit HDF using Chrome. I'm soon reminded of my mistake. One thing I noticed, most of the pop-ups mention Google, so I'm inclined to believe it's a Chrome issue, versus a security issue on IB's end.

Im on a Droid phone and use chrome for a browser. I've never been bombarded with pop ups like that ever. I was hit with so many right hooks I was praying for a left!

I had the same problem using Chrome this morning so I just went back to using Firefox until the storm passes.
Is it s pain? Hell yes, but there are plenty of workarounds.

Use my Ipad there's an ad wedged between every few posts this morning and some of them off the wall nonsense, my PC running Chrome with adblockers haven't seen one yet.

I get pop ups when browsing from my phone. Not a big deal except that they are bigger than the screen and I can't close them.

I have a couple of ad blockers and I don't see any ads.
Probably just jinxed myself, the only ads I see are on the far right border
and I've grown accustomed to them and no longer notice they're there.
I have an ad blocker too, and my situation is identical to yours. I guess he needs to live with it.

Thanks I'll check it out ... would have helped in this particular situation, but Normally I'm just as good as any Software App
