Does anyone else get hit with malware when browsing this forum on their phone?

I use the app and I don't have any issue like that. I rarely see any ads either.

Same boat. Been hit like 3 times during my browsing just this morning.

Using Chrome/Android.

Sometimes it's a pop-up I can close, then continue browsing RGM. Other times it takes over my browser and I have to completely exit out.

The only thing that appears as trackers or web analytics are all from Google and deemed safe, if not a bit invasive.
While Ad-Blocking software detected and blocked 6 ads.
Few sites are totally free of these things, but I'd have to rate the web browser version of RealGM safe.
Mobile versions are more dependent on location, which mobile browser, using any protective software, which brand phone and O/S. Yet from my own, informal mobile browsing of the site, there are some pop-up ads that are fairly easily dismissed and harmless, yet nonetheless annoying as hell.

Never had any trouble with an iPhone (Safari) OR with a laptop.

I cant figure out a way to make ad blocker work through my mobile chrome browser. I may just need to switch browsers

We can move this thread to feedback so the admins can see it. Your call.

yep, tried using the site with my phone yesterday, and the malware ads began popping up again. It looks like someone cleverly gave a mobile ad code to the site that wasn't for the right intentions.

OK I'm the dinosaur using a PC but this is the only site that I have issues on. Typing is sluggish, sometimes the cursor doesn't move and blocks of words just don't appear until I click in the reply box and they show up. Worse on Firefox than Chrome but the new tabs never seem to finish closing. Whatever they have going on it's low grade

It seems to be getting worse.

It's brutal now, this is my 5th attempt to login, can finally post something. :banghead:

Over to Reddit I go

Yeah agree with the above, it's now taking over my phone and plays an audible popup that yells "Congratulations!" randomly.

Im getting redirected to some 3rd party malware essentially 90%+ of the pages I load. This is getting brutal and the site is nearly inoperable via the iphone browser.

Yup. Completely unusable on iPhone right now. Is realgm going to fix this anytime soon? This is crazy.

CowboyBebop · Post #56 » by **CowboyBebop** » Sun May 13, 2018 2:05 pm

Also, to the person running these ads, I hope you make 0 sales and waste all your money. Absolute douchebag.

I get redirected to cloudfront.net or whatever on my iPhone within 20 seconds of browsing realgm on Safari. Happens less frequently on Chrome on iOS but still happens every now and then. Browsing realgm via Safari on iOS has become impossible at this point.

Fat Kat · Post #58 » by **Fat Kat** » Sun May 13, 2018 4:26 pm

This problem is absolutely ridiculous.

AdGuard for iOS is working well so far.

CowboyBebop · Post #59 » by **CowboyBebop** » Sun May 13, 2018 4:31 pm

For those wondering, this is the iPhone experience on safari.

Happening to me on both Safari and Firefox on iPhone in iOS 11. It's unusable.
