hubrad Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This just started today; I'm using Chrome browser on Android phone. Had a look at one pop up, and it's just blank. I've re-blocked them, but keep getting the 'popup blocked' notification errmm popping up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Popups are a real nuisance, I do wonder how many people actually buy any of the rubbish that they inevitably contain... I'm using the bog standard default browser that ships with Android and I'm not getting any popups (or notifications that a popup has been blocked) at all on BC. That immediately makes me suspect the browser you are using... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Weirdly, it happened for a few hours yesterday then not since. Hmmmmmm. I'm using Chrome browser, which seems to be the main add-on Android browser. Use the same on PC with no difficulties. Anyway, gone now. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 To be honest, I've never really thought about how Chrome handles popups. Whilst Google make a big thing about privacy, I can't help but wonder if trusting a company, who's main income comes from paid adverts, configure a pop up blocker is such a great idea. These popup purveyors rely on browser vulnerabilities to deliver their rubbish. If you use a 'known' browser, it'll be accounted for and the junk* will be delivered. If you use the mickey mouse browser that ships with the device, half the time nobody can be bothered to deliver junk to it because its generally so feature limited. One thing is for certain though, the only content we have on the Basschat servers is Basschat stuff - we don't have a part time job selling viagra, holiday shares or sexual services (sorry Discreet ). * With apologies to the DMA for describing their crap as junk. It's crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
