Ads?
 
Is everyone else getting the constant barrage of ads that are new threads? I’ve seen them from Honda, Mazda and now Walgreens. They pop up and then disappear. If you moderators are deleting them as they appear, thanks but you have your work cut out for you.

I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to eliminate getting them.

Same here. But they aren't true posts. They are targeted ads. I keep getting travel related ads (just been booking travel stuff). I'm guessing our host has found a new revenue stream...

What's strange is I get them on my mobile devices but not on my home computer...

I only see them if I accidentally use chrome. I primarily use a browser called Brave and it gets rid of all ads.

Can confirm.

Quit using chrome years ago.

Brave (it's a stable variant of firefox) works very well. Epic for the more paranoid. The irony that pilots, the last bastion of private enterprise union labor in the US, give away hundreds/thousands of hours of extremely valuable advertising tracking information FOR FREE never ceases to amaze me.

Get rid of the ads. Go with another browser. Or not.

(IMHO, basic iPad safari is getting unusable due to ad barrages. Numerous other browsers ...including Brave work very well on portable devices)

Started using Brave this morning and it worked great, now the pages won’t load. Hmmmm

Same for me. Deltanet doesn't load any tiles.


Looks a lot like Chrome.

I've started to use it too. You will need to go "Shields Down" (click the lion head on the address bar) to get Delta Net to load properly.

I use adblock plus and have not seen these ads.
