USA visitor, Nexus 6P running Chrome - I didn't grab a screenshot, but I got the mock Facebook ad (same as post 351) and was able to use my back button to return to FT. So, I guess that's progress...

Here's a thought: until you have gotten on top of it, turn off ads for mobile users. Once you think you have it all sussed out, bring them back slowly and gauge feedback.

I notice you never replied to the question above. It has been pointed that the ads which you can not stop other by than changing provider are of illegal nature. Could you please confirm you do not condone data theft for the purpose of criminal activities and you are going to ensure this will not happen again ever ?
This we can't do. We will do our best to provide the best, free mobile experience that we can.

Considering that I have never gotten a redirect from any other non pirate mobile site I find this hard to believe.

You can, but you won't. There is a difference. I would speculate that it is because mobile browsing is increasing and is also quite lucrative for advertising, so it provides a healthy chunk of your revenue. Instead of getting people to whack-a-mole bad ads for you and saying that you can't screen every one of them, why don't you switch to a different advertising partner?

As I'm in the UK at the moment and receiving the SkyBet adverts with a variety of websites (even with a cleared cache) I've decided to submit a complaint about SkyBet to the Advertising Standards Commission, not sure if it will achieve anything, but its worth a punt (for want of a better word... :-)

FT should really get rid of those ads that hijack your mobile browser

I find it hard to report these on mobile. Tried to get screenshots and lost it. Got url.
Totally agree with this. +100 There are other travel sites out there. IB will only pay attention when a large enough group stops visiting the site.
