Certainly these ads - which I never click on - have curtailed my visits to this excellent site. There must be another way to raise funds to keep the site going. Patreon, perhaps?


I still stop by get out as fast I can!!

Check the options for your browser, they might be in the 'Advanced' or 'Content' sections.
Hopefully you'll find a check box that says something such as -
Allow / Prohibit Pop Ups.

I use Firefox and the setting is in - Tools / Options / Content - Block Pop Up windows .

I have Block Pop up ads checked on both Safari and Firefox, but it doesn't stop them. They are incredibly distracting.

They are not popups, at least the ones I get on my iPhone. So I wouldn’t expect them to be blocked.

I am not sure what I did to get rid of them, but I use an adblocker as well as blocking *.taboola.*

No tqboola ads for me on Firefox.

They suck, and they're getting worse. Some of the newer ones come replete with sound until you close them, and take up like a quarter of the screen. I'm about ready to bag this site.....

By the way, is this pop up bs a......"feature" or has this site been hacked in some kind of way? It's MEGA annoying
