    pop ups with Adblock?

    I am getting loads of pop ups even with adblock installed and running. They have 'Ads by TheAdBlock on them. Also highlighted text on sites leading to ads. I ran malwearbytes and superanti spywear that usually does the job but still got them Stuff all priced in TL whatever that is, anyone else had this?

    Thanks for that.

    Even thought I'm sure Sofia is a lovely young lady I've had enough of her popping up whenever she fancies it.

    Adblockplus or uBlock are good tools to have to stop pop-up-adds but make sure you download the correct one

    BTW I changed all my browsers over to uBlock a few months ago and it gets the from me

    Thanks. Have installed. Now to get it working. Another exercise in the phone being far smarter than the operator.

    Adblock is a pain in the ass if you regularly switch networks.

    Well. I give up. Sophia and I will continue our long relationship.

    Problem I have is no wifi 90% of the time. Seems adblock works only on wifi.
