Unsolicited pop ups
When I open the Daily mail page a pop up appears purported to be from Vodaphone, this only happens on the Daily mail page and will not allow me to continue, any ideas how to get rid of this, I'm sure it's a scam, any thoughts ?

I am having the same problem on every website with a pop up from BT. Cant continue to browse without answering their survey. I have opted to open another window and live the advert in original window. This seems to cure the problem.

Re: Unsolicited pop ups
Is this on a tablet/phone or on a computer? Have you tried a different browser? I usually use Firefox Focus and don't get this problem although I also use Block This.

Re: Unsolicited pop ups
It’s the price you may for a free Internet. If we were all happy to pay Google €10 a month you would not see any ads It’ s only going to get worse and so many sites won’t open unless you disable your adblocker.
Just think what a paper copy of The Times would cost of it didn’t carry adverts.

Re: Unsolicited pop ups
Hi telboy,
Its been a month since your last post above..........so you still having Pop-ups.........
https://www.lifewire.com/manage-pop-up- ... ri-4136249
Can manage pop-ups on site basis .
Something to try for me.............
If you use your ISP Default DNS Server change your DNS to
either
1.1.1.1 = CloudFlare DNS
or
208.67.220.123 or 208.67.222.123 = OpenDNS Family Shield
