Just installed this, cheers.

It works brilliantly, but sites like the Argus don’t like it one bit, with a huge banner across the screen at all times pressurising for its removal. Where it’s a problem on a site you like, you can add that to AdGuard’s ‘whitelist’ with ease.

AdGuard on my apple devices appears to prevent me getting these.

Thanks for the reminder of this. Got it on my phones but not my iPod. Now working

If you get these, if you could include in your moan the following, it will speed up remediation massively:

- Device you are using
- Browser
- The URL you were directed too, or details of the pop-up

Again, I can only apologise. I know it'a a pain in the arse and I often only know about if you raise it. I've not seen one of these myself.

Have you tried the free AdGuard app? I get zero popups and minimal ads.

[MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION] first of all, thank you for the ad guard tip, I’ve not had a single problem since installing it. Can you tell me how to add a site to the whitelist, I’m struggling to work it out? Cheers

Hi.
Click on the AdGuard app icon on your device home screen. Whitelist is down the left. Then completely ignore the search box bit, and in the big black box underneath it, type in e.g. www.brightonandhovealbion.com . No need for https:// . Then click on the green “Done” in the top right quarter.
I just tried that, it works.

Ditto, I simply never see ads or pop ups on NSC on an iphone or ipad. (I don’t use tapatalk).

You simply won't be seeing anything on NSC in the near-future either.

People are absolutely within their right to block ads, as I am absolutely within my right to block content from those blocking ads also.
