Unwanted ads.
Posted by sharkbait on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 11:42 AM

Is it only me or has everyones Feed from this site suddenly become loaded with ads on subjects that have no connection whatsoever to modeling?

They also start streaming without selecting them and are difficult to stop.

What do you use to access the forum, eg, PC or laptop, tablet, notebook, mobile device, and operating system, browser?  Do you have any ad blockers installed?

I ask, because everyone will have a different experience, based on things like that.

For example, I have an Samsung Galaxy phone, but I don't use it to access the forum.  I use a laptop running Windows 10, and my browsers are Chrome and Firefox.  Their ad blocking features are pretty good on their own, but I also have uBlock Origin installed on Chrome.  I see no ads at all.

Whatever your device and browser, if you're not using an ad blocker, I recommend trying one, and see if that helps. It should.

I use Adblock on my Ipad and get no ads there either.

And do you use any kind of ad blocker?

I've used DuckDuckGo as my search engine since it was first released, but I haven't tried the new browser yet.

Ad blockers in any form are a necessity today.
