Report Problems with Bad Adverts (Popups, Redirects, Intrusive)

[Brooklynzson]

Haven't had a redirect since Sunday, still get the webgl shyt every now and then though.

Try this:

Emily, do what Lougle suggested, it works! Go to chrome://flags and look for - Disable WebGLMac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
Enabling this option prevents web applications from accessing the WebGL API
You have to enable this option in order to Disable WebGL.
I know it seems backwards that you are enabling an option to get rid of it but that is how it is.

Try this:

Already enabled.

I'm not worried about it. Doesn't pop up often.

@Mowgli we 86'd the old add-on we had for ads. You shouldn't see that redirect to blank pages w/ just an ad, if you do, do me a solid and screenshot that please.

Uber keeps opening the app store.... It's beyond annoying at this point!

The next time y'all get that, make a note of the exact time then go to whatismyipaddress.com and pm me the time and IP address. Trying to find exactly what ad is causing the redirects so we can block it.

Getting hammered today...

Not sure if my phone, but only happens on Coli.
