ISR pop up ad

On Chrome using an iPhone or an iPad this pop up ad regularly gets in the way. It's also the last thing to load so when I go tap on a thread, sometimes I'll accidentally click this and be redirected. Please fix this issue. image.jpg

I get it every new visit, on an Ipad running Safari.

That's fine, but a banner ad would suffice. The pop up that loads in a way that is accidentally clicked is ridiculous.

You don't need to specifically target the "X" to make the ad disappear. Tapping anywhere on the screen that's not the ad makes the ad go away.

iPad, iPhone, running safari.

Really??? How the heck do you not see it with safari?? Your iPhone must have a very different safari browser than mine?

He/she specifically mentioned iPhone and iPad browser experiences and I too get those pop-ups whether I use safari or chrome.

As far as Firefox with Adblock - well, unless it changed in the last few days there's still no Firefox browser for iPhone? There are many Firefox knockoff browsers but no actual Firefox for iPhone. ..unless you know something we don't??

PS. I use "gringo's" advice on clicking anywhere but the ad, it works but yes, those ads ARE annoying.

They're effective though. I'll NEVER send a pilot wannabe friend to CACI Careers!
