Anybody get a pop up ad on left side that won't go away 

Post#1 » by Yosemite Dan » Wed Dec 16, 2015 10:42 pm

Keeps popping up on the left side of the screen and there's no way to get rid of it. It blocks a good portion of the screen and makes it hard to type. Don't get it on any other sites so the problem must be this website. I click on it and it has an opt put option but that doesn't seem to work. Someone help!!!

Normally that's the case but I'm using my non porn laptop so that can't be it.

I was. Downloaded an adblocking extension/app on Google Chrome... solved the issue.

Now I really feel like an idiot because every other site I frequent is alot quicker too. Should have done this long ago. I wrongly assumed that Chrome already had a built in adblocker that just didn't work very well. :banghead:

I might even break in some porn with this laptop now.

I thought I was the only one that had a non-porn laptop! Well, I did until I discovered HD porn.
