I thought it was just mobile, but I'm getting it on my desktop as well, and it's REALLY weird because it just started within the past week.

Not sure about desktop but it's gotten terrible on mobile. Just had two while typing this up in fact.

Yep. Only browse on desktop now. The worst is the full screen "Bible" ad hijacks.

Yes, on Chrome for desktop and on Chrome for iOS. ONLY on this site. Shields up until it's sorted.

It only happened to me in Chrome on my phone. Firefox doesn't seem to have the same issues.

I only notice it on my phone. There are days I simply cannot browse the site on it.

Never an issue on desktop.

Before this thread is closed, allow me to point out that there is a thread for this in the Announcements forum, which will be pointed to by whichever staff member closes the thread.

Which makes me wonder why they don't move it here or pin a thread linking to it or something.

I actually just posted there right before you mentioned this, and yeah, I had to find it from some old redirect thread from 2018 or something.

It's honestly nuts how many people are getting it, and it looks like there's been an increase in this recently. Hope it's fixed soon; Reset's been pretty good to me, honestly, for the two years I've posted here.

Been getting them for at least a week or so on my phone, and last day or so I've noticed it a lot on desktop. Really annoying.

Using Chrome on desktop and Android phone.

I get a bunch when I'm on data but none when I'm on wi fi. I don't know why that matters, but it is really annoying.

Happened last week for two days. Every couple of months I get redirects ads.

Hasn't happened to me yet today, but it's definitely not a new problem. I've gone entire days where I can't browse Era due to this.

It's happened on browser and mobile, if it happens at work I'll be off era until I feel it's safe.

I just mentioned this in the other thread, but from what I understand, individual sites can't control individual ads like this. They have to report them to the ad company who can then remove or block them. In the meantime, affected sites are at the mercy of the ad company. I'm sure it is extremely annoying for everybody involved.

The fact that there are two threads right now about this is insane.
