It's all up to date so I don't think I can do much other than wait for an update Once you dismiss it, it won't appear again until the next day. Link to comment
0 Enda Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 For me, using Brave on iOS, it is now coming up after every page click. Link to comment

It's appearing every few seconds at the moment, certainly every time you click on a new topic or change areas. Link to comment
0 limpid Posted June 20, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 20, 2023 @Enda @Risso Please start a new thread for a new issue. This is clearly not the same problem if it's just started happening. I don't get notified for replies, only new topics. 1 Link to comment
0 limpid Posted June 20, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 20, 2023 Please disable your ad blocker. It only happens if your ad locker is running on VT. I've temporarily disabled it. Link to comment
0 Enda Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi @limpid, thanks for the prompt reply. It is the same issue. It was previously once a day for me. This was easy to ignore and not enough for me to annoy you about. Now it is after every page refresh which makes the site very hard. Unfortunately it’s not as simple for me as “turn off Adblocker” because it’s the whole browser. There’s no extra Adblock option here. I’d have to totally change browsers. Link to comment

Stealing money from websites since it launched. This isn't something that I can fix. I can only turn the AD blocker detector on or off. Hopefully they'll fix it. Link to comment
Question
Guest
I’m using Chrome on OS (IPhone 14 Pro Max) and every now and then I get a notification that I’m using an ad blocker and reminding me this site needs advertising.
I don’t use an ad blocker. Is this something built into Chrome on OS?
