Just "upgraded" to a new ipad yesterday and cannot use FT on it because every time I go to any forum page there is a fake Amazon popup. Have tried all sorts of tinkering with settings but to no avail.
When the popup comes up, the address bar changes to norwegianreward.top. The only way out is to close the tab.

Does FT really need ads running for things like Xiaflex. No screen print but went to Omni and the ad across top of the page discusses a mans medical condition involving curves of greater than 30 degrees.
Not sure what is going on with FT but certainly seems to be headed in the wrong direction.

If experience bad mobile ads, and If using Chrome on your mobile device, try:
Load chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture in the browser's address bar.
Switch the status of the "Framebusting requires same-origin or a user gesture" experimental flag from default to enabled.
Restart the Chrome browser.
Load chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture in the browser's address bar.
Switch the status of the "Framebusting requires same-origin or a user gesture" experimental flag from default to enabled.
Restart the Chrome browser.

The new ads with sound are pretty darn disruptive! Do those count? And are they permitted? They certainly aren't by me. I started boycotting CNN over this issue and never looked back. Are we supposed to only read Flyertalk on mute now?
