Pop-up ads for known rogue companies

I have activated Adblock Plus, which has removed the ads from this site for me.

I'm trying to turn off cookies with this site. Every time I come here, there's the Cancer Research add - trying to convince us to leave something in our will (annoying when we donate regularly anyway).

I've got Boho-Chic at the moment
HQ???

He used to be such a nice boy

HQ. Irisruby showing now.

I think they took offence that I inferred ( not too politely) that Mark Zuckerberg was more interested in the old green back than he was in good honest people loosing their hard earned cash.

FB should have acted and investigated them, not banned you.

But presumably these companies are a source of income for Facebook.

Re getting banned from FB. I was pretty scathing and forthright in my opinions of these companies.

Damensein appeared briefly today. I have noticed turning up on other sites I have gone to.

I must try to download one (again).

Although I do like to read a local paper, the Independent etc online and to access other posters' links.

I have an ad blocker and it's worth the odd site not allowing access not to be bothered by ads. Only the Guardian newspaper will let me read online. The others all block me.

They're back!!

Young Chic and another one.

MerylSteeep you got banned from Facebook*?
Quite an honour!

Had Damensein and Youngchic popping up this evening. Dresses and knitwear rather than shoes.

You wanted screen shots. These are from tonight

Adblockers can be switched on and off and tbh I never have problems accessing anything online.

The problem with adblockers,I used to use one, is that some sites rely on the revenue they bring and they will not let you access the site if you use an adblocker. Often this doesn't matter, but sometimes you need that particular site.

I cannot access my local papers online if I have an ad blocker.

If any of you are on FB, have a look at the comments.
Mine were so scathing that I've been banned for 24hrs twice.

I have emailed you twice on this subject. You said you would do something about it. Since then it has got worse.

It depends what browser you use, I use google chrome but Adblock covers a fair few such as Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge web browsers.

Thanks for trying HQ.

FlexibleFriend - could you please tell me about your pop-up blocker - I definitely want one of those!!

I don't get any ad's so assume my pop up blocker is working.

Oops, spoke too soon, I moved to another page just now (15.20 Wed) and Iris Ruby was back. Tried to take a screenshot but the advert changed before I succeeded.

Thank you, the screen shot was yesterday, so it may well be sorted now.

I am attempting to attach here a screenshot showing an advert for Iris Ruby. It does seem to be placed there by Google so there may not be much that you at Gransnet can do about it.
