Default Ad redirect on mobile site

When I browse the mobile site I get redirected to a WalMart gift card scam page fairly regularly, which causes Chrome to lock up in addition to being generally annoying.

And before anyone says "Use the app! N00B!" they still don't have it working on Android 7.

Yeah, I have the same problem, app doesn't work on my Pixel, and the website page is like cancer on my phone.

See if you can post some screen shots. I will let Nolan know about this thread so he can see if he can do something about the shitty adds.

Same here. It's obnoxious! I have to close the window and start over.

Post screenshots if you see them. I am starting to disable ads completely in different slots to try and pinpoint which ad partner is letting these through.

I made a change today and let me know if it is still happening.

I played around in the app for 5 minutes or so, and didn't see anything, which is great. If I find it again, I will post a screenshot. The app however, still does not work on the newest version of android.

Thank you. Hope it stays away.

Android N requires us to start using SSL encryption for the app to work. We have the update coming soon and it will fix the app along with removing the "not secure" warning on newer browser versions.

I thought the non-"proud supporter" types got the add feeds anyway?
