No. Adblock is still killing them.

But I do get them on my tablet.

The ONLY popups I get anywhere are here on GW. Drives me nuts and keeps me from spending as much time here as I might otherwise. Are you reading this GW? Kim

You may know this already, but try switching to Firefox as your web browser, and then add on adblock. Every ad and pop up is blocked by this. Diane

Thank you! Firefox is where I've had the popup issues. Restarting it with adblock now! Kim

Bless you Diane! NO more popups! Thanks! Kim

For the record, IE browser plus Adblock works just as well as Firefox plus Adblock. The answer is Adblock, not the browser.

Kate,
Your comment got me thinking...I switched to Firefox from IE years ago when Ebay first started putting in hideously annoying ads of dancing men in silhouette (maybe you remember it) which ran over and over. I researched a little and found that Firefox would work with adblock, but not IE. Times have changed, I guess. I went to the master (my son in law, computer wizard), and he had already added Adblock to Google Chrome, whose graphics I like much better than those of Firefox. Long story short..Adblock works with everything--yay. Diane

Well I'm reassured that I'm not the only one experiencing this. But it's still a pain! I use Opera and I'll have to check out Adblock and see if it will work with that.

Chrome and adblock work too.
