In the past couple days while browsing on my mobile, I've been getting a lot of annoying redirect ads... "You won a free iPhone!" and other such nonsense. The ads only appear when browsing CCF.

Browsing on Android smartphone running 6.0.1, Chrome 65 browser.

Anyone else getting these? Maybe Bobby is aware of some recent change that has let these through?

I used get these in Chrome on Android all the time from various sites, which is why I stuck to Firefox on mobile for a long time. However, that does not help when all in-app webpages (like viewing a link from Gmail, Newstand, Twitter, etc.) are rendered by Chrome.

These are coming from the ad-networks and not really tied to any specific site other than by targeting your phone location, browsing history, keywords on pages, etc.


That being said, there is a fix which has worked for me...


In Chrome app, open a new tab and go to 'chrome://flags'

In the 'Search flags' box enter "Framebusting" and you should find the setting 'Framebusting requires same-origin or a user gesture'

Set to 'Enabled'

You will need to restart Chrome for sure, but I had to reboot my phone to get the in-app rendering to recognize it.

A few days ago I was getting the same thing here on CCF. Hasn't happened since then.

Thanks for the fix, jbuck. I will try that if it happens again.

It happened to me a few days ago as well. I closed the chrome app and went back in. Hasn't happened today.

Wow, I have been dealing with the exact same issue on and off for the last couple weeks and never saw this topic. I narrowed the pop-ups down to when one of two different AdChoices ads showed on a page. This only happened on CCF.

I followed your advice, jbuck, and hope to be free of it. It was quite annoying!

I'll get it on other websites but have never had it happen here.
