I have been purposely not using any ad/script blockers until now.

I appreciate that there are significant costs to IB to continue to offer the FT forums for free and I was more than willing to tolerate the static sidebar ads as a way of helping to offset those costs. But these amazon.com hijack ads [occurring/reoccurring for nearly a year now] make FT completely unusable on mobile, thus I have no choice but to use an ad/script blocker.
