If there are anymore ads put on the Flyer Talk web pages that have audio that comes on by default and you can't stop the audio, I will never come back to Flyer Talk. It's OK to have an ad with audio as long as you have to activate the audio before it starts.
Message to LactAid, I will never never never ever purchase a product from your company.

I have been using Mozilla Firefox without ....... to view FT. However, in the
past week the audio ads that come on automatically have gotten so bad that
I was forced to install ....... for Firefox.
FT people: I can stand "print" ads, but not audio and video ones, especially
those that activate without any prompt from me.

Autoplay ads are making it impossible to view on my phone. Slows it down to a crawl.

What the hell, guys... video ads with audio now? Seriously?
And the audio is playing even though the ad is supposedly muted. I have to unmute, then re-mute for it to stop.

About two months ago I started getting redirected by ads displayed on FT to domains like 2568786.com and hahi.gdn. I've blocked the sites since.
I'm using Firefox and I've also seen sluggish behaviour accessing the site. Firefox easily eats up 3GB memory. Since I've disabled Javascript for FlyerTalk I'm seeing max 1GB memory usage.

The “Amazon $1000 Gift Card iPhone” ads that lock you up and freeze the phone are back.
Can’t post a screenshot because - wait for it - it locks my phone up. The address, such as it is, is:

And now we’re back to the amazon.con gift card scam.
At this point FT is basically unusable on my phone.
