Sorry this is still happening, guys. These rogue ads are a bit tricky to track down since they are routed through multiple companies before they reach our own ad partners.
We're working to isolate their specific source, but in the meantime, there's a way to block them on your browser's end. Chrome has a new feature that specifically stops the loading of rogue ads like this, similar to how the browser has its own built in pop-up blocker. It won't officially roll out for a few months, but you can activate a beta of the new blocker right now by going to the following URL in Chrome on both your phone and desktop, and then selecting "Enable" from the highlighted option: chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

First time in a long time this has happened. I've done that enable then everything great. I'm home on Wi-Fi when on CL but went outside and it immediately happened. On t-mobile's network. Just weird

My apologies that you keep experiencing this issue, Boomin. Can you please confirm that Chrome's built-in blocker is still enabled on your device? When you go to the URL previously shared (chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture), it should list it as "Enabled" if it is.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks all, aware of it and it’s rogue advertisers doing this not a virus.
IBs tech team has a solution in testing that hopefully will address the issue. Know it’s terrible

I think Chrome NEW adware blocker fixed it. Since yesterday I don't get these annoying pop-ups anymore.
