Re: Ads and pop ups on this site
This site is riddled with popups adverts etc - i would say it's almost infested with in order to make someone money via clilcks.Originally posted by NYCBlue View PostDespite using Adblock Plus I've started getting them. Is this happening to anyone else?
Anyway - use the brave browser - brave.com - as default out of the box - it blocks every last bit of junk click bait this site and throw at you. It also blocks all youtube adverts as well.
I dont use any other browser

Re: Ads and pop ups on this site
Cheers - I'll take a look at that. But - according to AdGuard's privacy policy, they state they do not log your browsing history - I'm not so sure on thatOriginally posted by Moodybluebird View PostI mentioned earlier in the thread that following some advice I had on here a few months ago, I did the following, which has totally stopped any pop-ups or ads getting through:

Third-Party Access - they claim they dont share your dns queries but they are based in Cyprus , I believe (depending exactly where in Cyprus - but I think they have different data laws especially if based in northern cyprus. Will have to check that. I also need to check what brave does with regards to dns settings - but never got around to - it just works fine - and no ads or blockers etc

Re: Ads and pop ups on this site
I'm talking about my laptop. I use AdBlock Premium and a VPN. I've just started having problems this week.Originally posted by Moodybluebird View PostI asked the same question a few months ago and received great advice, which has worked perfectly.
Go to your phone settings, then to network and Internet. You should have an option called private DNS. Open it up and set the custom address to dns.adguard-dns.com. Hope this helps.
