My iPhone 6 has begun an automatic redirection every time I open a new page on mud. It does not do this anywhere else but mud. It starts out with the site "play.worldbesttraffic.com" and then redirects to a fake Facebook notification that says "congratulations you Apple iPhone was randomly selected as todays lucky mobile device. ". How do I stop this from happening?

Quit safari
Go to
settings/safari/advanced/website data/. Click the edit button and delete all cookies.
Maybe restart the phone. But I've never had to. I've run into a few scumbag websites that have done what you described. The above procedure always fixed it.

See if it does it in Private mode. If it doesn't, then it's a tracking issue.
Did it to me yesterday as well, but only on my cell phone. Not on the iPad or desktop.
Post the link here. I'll check it out..... Maybe.
Is it a real ih8mud.com URL or a fake one you bookmarked from a link?

It looks like the scum bag website may have put ih8mud.com in an html frame. You're not at mud.
it's an iphone specific issue, and I've been chasing it for hours and hours over the past few days. The reported URL's and screenshots help, but thus far are not hitting the source.
I've been reviewing all the ads served and am having no luck there either. Frustrating (especially when I don't own an iPhone to personally catch the issue)

No issues today @woody , but yesterday it was killing me!!
It was also kicking me to the same address posted above even when accessing through the MUD app.

Sorry sorry, meant mud shortcut on the phone. But it's been the same link I've been using for months.
Cleared history yesterday eve., it still redirected, but all good today. Strange.
However, a couple users reported that the issue did NOT happen on WiFi, only on 4G...still not a bad investment tho. I try and add a new hardware option each year for testing (Android tablet, iPad, Chromebook, Macbook Air, Dell laptop, Dell desktop, Android phone, iPod...so far...) iPhone is the one I haven't done yet.
Staring at a row of screens can suck
I found another site today that does this on iPhone. Does not affect the Mac though.
This site just "broke". It was working a couple days ago and always in the past.

Clearing cookies or quiting Safari or rebooting phone didn't help.
Turning off JavaScript did. (But kinda of crippled the site).
Just a heads up for future troubleshooting.
