Video adds kp popping up .

Just get AdBlock Plus, it's free and reliable - no more ads.

Yes, I’ve got them. Something to do with Facebook I think (fb.gg.creators )
Hetty I have tried and failed to get Adblock in the past. I will give it another go and report back…

bikergran I take it that you are on your laptop - I’m on my phone

Yes FannyCornforth on laptop, never had them before and don't do/have FB.

Hetty will try add blocker, thanks.

As someone not on Facebook but thinking of going on there Fanny, how can they know you are on Gransnet, that’s very invasive if they do, what else do they know you use,? Surely that’s breaking your right to privacy.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear.
The adverts were for Facebook, something to do with making and streaming videos on there.
I’m not on Facebook either

I am getting these on my tablet.

If I have several windows open, one of which is Gransnet,those adverts can suddenly blare out even when it's a different window I'm looking at. It's scared the living daylights out of me a few times..

Yes I'm getting them on my tablet most annoying.

I am not on Facebook but getting just recently too.

On iPad this morning too.

They started yesterday and are continuing today and mine are for holidays ? Very annoying..Oh and a Facebook One just popped up and I am not on Facebook

If a company really wanted to know something about you there’s nothing that they couldn’t find out about you.
The only way to that you can avoid that is to to not go online and only use cash and not use a points store card.

Yes, I have a revolting one advertising a cleaning product to clear drain smells. I delete it repeatedly and it reappears instantly.
If the makers of this product are watching, I REFUSE TO BUY IT>.

There seem to be quite a few apps to block these pesky things.
Anyone got any recommendations? Most of them say in app purchases does that mean that the apps ads pop up instead?
There is one that costs £1.79, maybe that’s the one to go for.
So many choices that I will probably not choose any ?

I’ve tried Adblock and Clario (downloaded the apps) but can’t follow their instructions on what to do next (extensions?)
So I’ve still got the ads.
I had a recurring one yesterday for an asinine looking children’s computer game, which encouraged me to ‘Bomb to the Beat’

I do t get them on my iPad at all because I keep the screen for the threads only i let them fill the page then you don’t see any side adverts
If they are not the side adverts you’re talking about then I don’t get anything else

bikergran I thought it was my tablet because I've been getting them too; all I've been able to do is turn down the volume.

They are extremely annoying.

FannyC I put on an Adblocker as advised by someone on GN and messed up everything, my email account, GN etc It was a nightmare and I had to delete accounts and start again.

Ads kept appearing one after another on FB too and I spent hours deleting the firms I didn't want because didn't want any Adblocker messing everything up again.

No definitely getting nothing I shrunk the screen and only a Toyota one at the side nothing about FB at all ???

Thank you Hetty58. I too started to get these video ads on my Macbook laptop but never on the iphone. Don't have an ipad.

Just installed Adblock plus and the video ads have gone. Well all ads have gone, even better. It's not upset anything else on the laptop.

I downloaded the version for Chrome.

Thank you Calistemon
I definitely won’t bother trying again!

It's not happening on the pc, just on the tablet. I don't think I've got an Adblocker on the pc which I'm using at the moment. Nor are there annoying adverts at the top of the page on the pc, one of Gransnet's own and another below it trying to sell me something I don't want.
