Plus the whole site just loads much, much quickly. I signed up to do my bit, but it's easily been worth it for the speed increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkyJoe Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think it’s a safari problem. I’ve had the pop up on a couple of different sites over the last few days. incidentally it’s not that I completely distrust the internet but there seems to be a huge discrepancy between the number of iPads that I’ve won and the number I actually own!

The ads might be exploiting a vulnerability within Safari on apple products, but I don't think it's something from within safari (if you get what I mean). These hijacking ads have been an issue for while, and affecting more than apples/Safari at various points. It's been a lot of trouble to (mostly) stop them appearing here over the past few years, and the only viable fix has had a bad effect on the ad-income efestivals earns. Anyway, this one has been stopped. Till the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 With add blockers now built into browsers I wonder what the long term future is for this revenue stream. What's your experience Neil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
