Default IPhone pop up ads

I seem to have pop up ad blocker in settings But

Nearly every fcuckinh time I'm looking for something serious on net I get "little Dottie chicken "and then drafted off to app store to buy a gambling app when I try get rid of it.
Am I the only one ?

Why the f*** have you got an iPhone, man??? I believe you hate Apple everything with passion?? Don't tell me it's a Christmas gift from Jack Clark! If it is, flog it on eBay, you don't deserve an iPhone.

Sell it, then. You'll find many takers for it out there. As I said, you don't deserve one.

By the way, where's Jack? Have people got him banned again, for his Apple love?

Merry Christmas to you, Jack; wherever you are.

I guess the phone could be worse

Wasn't expecting pop up ads to be a problem though !

It doesn't seem to occur as much using my Wi-Fi , rather than voda 4g

I'm sick to death of that add as there is. No way of getting away from the add unless you just delete the web page. I thought I was getting it cause I'm roaming in California but looks like it's everywhere.

I have a BB, decent battery life, fits in my pockets and never have n issue with it. Use it for work email, texts and have even been known to phone people on it, am old school.

Pop up ads are a nightmare, drive me mad, seem to be getting worse no matter what you try to do to stop them.

I rooted my Note 3, installed xposed, then a comprehensive adblockers. Absolutely nothing gets through. Just blanks where memory hogging adverts used to be. No pop ups either. Ditch apple as they don't allow adblockers

Don't get how it's the iPhones fault maybe you should complain to the site that's allowing them on their site

It's something also to do with this site , as Jack intimated a while back
I get drafted off to advert with chrome as well. But then straight to Apple's app store.! With that previous ad as well.

I'm just citing this didn't happen , at all, as I can recall with the lesser phone

Yeh and we all know how this site loves it's bloody ads nowadays!!
That's why I don't pay anymore.
As soon as I turn off adblocker on the iPhone I get exactly what you're getting,adblocker back on and I get nowt
Of corse not everyone wants to jailbreak,but it's proper annoying how many ads we get.

You don't have to jailbreak to use content blocking. Search the App Store, pick one install it and try it. I have acceptable ads enabled because sometimes they're handy.

The only websites I have issues with on the iphone are tabloid newspaper sites, sports sites and **** sites.

The same sites are even worse on a PC. The Daily Fail website is probably one the worst "legit" websites IMHO (if you can call the Daily Mail a legitimate newspaper )

i tell you , maybe I'm biased and havnt discovered the benefits as yet but so far for the money its as I expected with iPhone , more cash for less diversity . it seems well built though which of course it should be for 720 QUID sim free
(although this is how much I paid all in with unlimited and 2gb for 24 months)
