Thomas³ Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I noticed some yesterday too. I guess they switched ads servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't use the mobile, but I noticed yesterday on the desktop version some ads started popping in from the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites block you from viewing their content until adblock is off too. I've had to whitelist a ton of websites lately.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 it literally takes up half of my mobile screen. i almost never come here on desktop anymore, and i'll probably never come here if the mobile app continues to have ads like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2moreinches Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 When you say mobile app do you mean an actual mobile app or just the mobile browser on your phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobile browsing. The switch to the new software was bad enough since it prioritizes features over performance, ads make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
