Q: Anybody else getting annoying pop-up adverts on ECC?
Last 2 or 3 days I’m getting multiple pop-up adverts on the answers pages.
Halfway up the right side is a Hong Bao / messag box that can’t be removed.
Botton on of the page is a full width banner that when I try to close with the X tries to open a new window.
Im getting this using Safari on iPhone. Anyone else having this problem?

Try 'Opera' (with free VNP, which is blocked in China, but it works also without VNP switched-on) or 'Safari' browser entirely without pop-ups.
I see your last sentence .... I don't have any pop-ups not even with Safari OS on Mac.
You might need to disable 'Location Services' under 'Security' tag on Sys Preferences.

Good reply Icnif. The thing is it’s only ECC where I get these pop-ups. No other websites. I’ve even got an adblocker installed.
icnif77:
It might be IP-sniff or similar software to get your puter/device's print/ID and is masked as pop-up.
I have two laptops, a phone and a tablet and don't have the popups on any of them.
got the red hongbao popup fw times. accidntly clickd once. showd some discount coupons fr online shoppin' of bags, watch etc.
They appeared on my Android phone today. Not only do they take up a significant part of the screen but it opens spam app page too. Not to mention they are all in Chinese. Rather than some misguided marketing strategy it is an annoying waste of money and effort....grrrrrrr
Very strange...they’ve stopped today!
