We just recently got small ads in the centre of the screen popping up, whenever I enter this site. Only been here for the past week or so.

Same here, started about 3 days ago, small ad in the centre of screen about every third time I visit. Chrome for me

Next time it pops up, could someone please post a screenshot? I will block the advertiser in question (hopefully it's the same one annoying everyone).

I posted a screenshot earlier on in the thread, but a few more here with all the info I can get from it really.

I see that these ads were introduced by Google around November. I have disabled the vignette ads for desktop users. They may still appear on mobile, but should hopefully be much less of an issue there.

Well, so far the annoying rascals seem to be gone. Thanks Adam!

No such experience here (Windows 10, Firefox, Malwarebytes)

Same here intermittent
Using Firefox
I thought it was Mc Caffy trying to over run my firewall software

No ads with IPad Air3 [IOS 14.4 , I am running Ad Block].

**Lowell Goudge** · 03-09-2021, 05:30 AM

Thanks adam

They are still there on my Android phone. On PC though all is well now.
