I can barely navigate through Mud anymore!!.. and my phone???.... Forget it. I'm being popped up relentlessly and apparently "hide" means go to Walmart.com immediately...
 
Mine been fine, no popups.

Same problem on my phone, but I don't think it's a MUD issue. I ended up installing a new browser on my phone called "Adblock" and it solved the problem.
 
Ahh, Good to know thank you!

Sorry for the rant.... It was a knee-jerk reaction ...I love this form
 
For you IOS users, you can download purify on your mobile phone and bypass all of the pop ups
 
I use Adblock and Ghostery together. Zero popups (and Ghostery stops ad tracking).

Edit: Thanks for the tip on Purify. Going to check it out for my phone.

I have noticed the popups on my phone when on a cellular network (whether I'm logged in or not). If I'm on wifi, no problems.

I've read the Best Buy or Apple popups can be found on other websites. Apparently the malware can infect specific sites.
 
Too much junk at my end too. I'll try a couple of the options you folks mentioned.
 
Adblock browser (free) for the win!
 
I had the same problem the other day on mud using my iPhone. Cleared memory and cookies in the settings app and restarted phone. Haven't had any more issues since
 
Frustration level reduced significantly. Ad block + Ghostery, yeah!
 
I don't think I have ever bought anything as a result of a pop-up ad. Worst thing about the Internet!
 
For me I was able to figure out exactly which banner ad has the exploit. @woody I hope you have a way to block individual advertisers or redirecting URLs!

This is the particular ad that is making viewing MUD unbearable on the phone:

Which will redirect to one of two URLs, both of them I have now blocked:

But not I have to look at this which is preferable but still sucks:

Stupid AdChoice is the one serving them - I was getting 2 or 3 Subway PER tab so - sorry Mud, would like to support your revenue but I am NOT willing to sit through that BS so Adblock Plus extension in chrome is now installed.

Let us know when you talk some sense into them or change ad providers and I'll unblock to support you...
