Full Screen Ads now?

We report full screen ads to our ad network but they sneak in from time to time

Thanks for getting back, and glad to hear that this isn't supposed to happen

Anything we can do on our side (like click report ad or anything), or is reporting these in this thread when they happen the best thing?

yet again, this is on macOS, covering content.

Absolutely disgusting. Makes me leave the front page immediately.

From time to time? I’m seeing multiple full screen Samsung Galaxy ads on every news article, and that’s pretty much the norm now. That, and the way the page moves around while you’re trying to read an article due to ad changes, is making MacRumors a far less pleasant read than it was years ago.

This McDonald’s full screen app is freezing the site for me. It takes up the whole screen, doesn’t allow you to close it for the first three seconds, then messes with the websites scrolling ability the rest of the time after it’s dismissed. Happening on my iPhone 17PM and iPad Pro. Literally can’t get past the second story before I have to leave the site.

Still an issue. Mostly I can't get around it on my iPhone so I just leave the site. Sometimes I get past it. Terrible site experience.

Four times in 20 minutes this morning this has taken over my screen:

I have to say it feels punitive. It’s been happening on my iPhone, which how I primarily access MR. I’ll see if it replicates on my iPad.

You can say that your own whips are beating you. You can't find a more insecure thing than a smart phone. There have been attacks on the winternet that are made through advertisements. The current ones, which cannot be closed before a few seconds have ticked, are aimed at destroying your last nerves. If someone thinks they can make advertisements that cannot be blocked, then it will lead about 90% of users elsewhere, as happened with one internet weather station.
