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>.

Allsorts
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.

I am not on Facebook but getting just recently too.

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

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..

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

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.

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

Hetty will try add blocker, thanks.

FannyCornforth Wed 17-Nov-21 09:22:29

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

FannyCornforth Wed 17-Nov-21 09:21:33

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

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

I have suddenly started getting video adds popping up all the time whilst on GN.

They are to my right about 4 x 3 and are very distracting, they cover part of the message in GN.

Never had these before hmm

Anyone else. I cants seem to get rid.

They seem to be mostly Disney.
