Pop up advertisment...
 
Gotta say, the new bottom of the website popup ad on this site sucks. Makes the website pretty annoying to use....

Switch to Vivaldi browser and you won't have that problem. It's available for almost every platform. Sorry, not linking it here as I don't want @Tcoat to report me as a scammer. ;)

But yeah, just use your favorite search engine to find it. I use it almost exclusively on my MS, Linux and Android devices. The one exception is iPhone where I use the DuckDuckGo browser because, strangely, it is not available in the Apple App store (or at least it wasn't when I last checked).

It pops down on mobile. Even more annoying.

Get rid of this fucking shit already. It's obnoxious as fuck.

Can someone post a screenshot of it? Maybe I'm just not seeing it.

No, I don't seem to be seeing that at all. I'm running Vivaldi on Android 8 on a Motorola phone. What device, OS version, and browser are you running?

Chrome, Windows 10.

Windows and Google are the reasons I use alternative software. Once again, try Vivaldi.

I don't usually run an adblocker, but I'm about to make an exception

For what it's worth, here's a screenshot from my Windows 7 PC also running Vivaldi. No pop up ads here either.

I got a pop up on my iPhone while here the other day four a prompt to download an .exe file. First time that’s ever happened since I’ve had an iPhone.

Bingo!! Here's a screenshot using Safari browser on iPhone. Ad located at the bottom of the page. I just tried Safari to see if it would allow the ads, I never use the iPhone's default browser for everyday browsing because of shit like this. This was just for demonstrative purpose. And this is in "Private" mode. :iono:
