Audiogon infested with pop-up ads
I use an ad-blocker on my phone. Recently the forum crashes on one type of browser so I switched to Google Chrome and have no blocker on it. I'm stunned as how almost unusable AG is with the infestation of ads. Even since yesterday, a new type appears slap-bang in the middle of the feed.
@j-wall Yes, that's exactly what got me real irked. Unbearable. So you have to get a free ad blocker app like Adblock Plus. Thanks for all your comments. Summary with Adblock Plus installed on phone. Samsung native browser: Site crashes browser / dark mode works fine Google Chrome: Ads everywhere, fuggitaboutit. Microsoft Edge: Works fine, ads blocked. / dark mode doesn't work |
Thanks @dill . Does Ghostery block ads in YouTube. That's another mess. |
@curiousjim Android. Samsung S21. The native browser croaks on the forum. Started a few weeks ago. So I switched to Chrome. That had the ads. They were top and bottom but tolerable. Yesterday, they started popping up in line over the posts. It was impossible to interact. After firing off my irate post, I switched to Edge and that fixed it. All good now. I guess my point is that if you do experience the ads, how can you stand it? 🤔 Hopefully, this will help those in that position. Note, I understand AG has to make money, and that the ads help in that, but they are so omnipresent that the site on a phone is challenging to use. |
