Pop-up ads driving me crazy

Suddenly I'm getting pop-up movie ads for Mr Muscle in the bottom right of the Gransnet page which will not go away. Close it and it just re-appears. Ignore it and it just keeps reappearing. I've no objection to ads at the top or side but pop-ups with moving pictures are just damn annoying especially when you can't get rid of them. I'm on a computer by the way.

The are certainly irritating me, hence I do not come on GN so often now!

Chestnut which browser do you reach Gransnet on please? Firefox? Chrome?
I have Adblock and use both, but still get them on GN.

I'm on Chrome on a desktop computer. The pop-up movie ads have completely disappeared for now anyway.

chestnut I hope your adblocker goes on working - as soon as I installed it these annoying video ads disappeared but very sadly they now appear every time angry

Thank you Chestnut. It sounds as if it may be a free trial offer and if you don’t take on paying for it, it ceases to work after a period of time. We seem to be over a barrel with it?

I don't get them when using the Opera web browser on a PC as it blocks ads.
