cheers davie. Adblock is staying on, maybe now is a good time to suggest a foxestalk premium service?

i use the desktop site, but Im getting this every other day. and its only when i open the FT tab. Im happy to have adblock off for you but not if this is going to happen

FFS how many tabs have you got open! 

 

I was just about to post about this as I'm also getting it on a regular basis recently but only with FT open and nothing else.

 

I use Chrome with adblocker off on FT but it's becoming quite annoying.

 

I keep running a virus scan afterwards but nothing come up.

Ok if you say so! I maybe have 3 open tops at anyone time 

But my PC is a relic so it slows down big time if there’s too much going on

Anyone else checking @Beliall's tabs to see if he was looking at anything dodgy like dwarf porn or the Forest forum?

Not quite on topic but saves making a new thread; am I going to be asked to review my privacy preferences every single day now? Third day straight I've had that pop-up.

It's like that on a lot of sites, damned annoying.

It should only appear once for whatever browser you use, so if you was on desktop and then tablet and then mobile guess it appear once for each. I know it’s a pain though ?

That's probably it then, once on my tablet, phone and PC. Hopefully that's it then!

Are you using incognito? If so, then it would appear every time

[Bryn]

Nope happened again this morning, don't use incognito and haven't cleared history/cookies etc.
