@Archangelbee, see if that goes away when the URL starts with https:// instead of http://. The ad happened for me on HTTPS, but we should just always use HTTPS:

[img]https://i.imgur.com/AP5qzRS.png[/img] Wasn't able to get the code for this because when I tried to right click it just opened the ad. But I have this screenshot. It had a different click target and when I tried to go to the FR home page via the logo, it tried to open the ad. I use Mac iOS and Chrome. I saw a few other posts about this specific kind of ad, so I'm mainly just trying to add to those complaints.

Just had a whole slew of pop-ups that tried to open in my open tabs for my hoard and my vault. I'm using Firefox Quantum (68.0.2) on a Macbook Pro running El Capitan (10.11.6) Happened first on my vault tab. I switched to it and there was a floating ad, and a notice about 3 popups Firefox had blocked. By the time I remembered how to screenshot, I got notice that 6 more popups had been blocked. After screenshot, a batch of 14, and another batch of 6 came up. The page then became unresponsive forcing me to close that tab. I was then on the tab with my hoard. That page became unresponsive after a batch of 5 pop-ups were blocked. My other FR tabs open have all been fine during this, no blocked pop up notifications/lag/unresponsive. I didn't get a screenshot of the source of the floating ad, but I have a screenshot of the ad. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SWDeV9h.png[/img]

Unfortunately I just got one of the same pop ups as many have been experiencing. Top right corner while I was bonding with familiars; took me straight off of Flight Rising without my even noticing I clicked it. https://sta.sh/01x0n40zoact I couldn't get img code to work but there's a link (to Deviantart Sta.sh for image hosting). I also know that BEFORE the notice came out about these ads I got the Mcafee ones several times but thought it was my computer. My browser is Chrome now, but the one where I got the mcafee ads was Internet Explorer I believe.
Edit: My OS is Windows 10

Sorry to crack this open, but I'm using Google Chrome on Mac OS, and got this ad [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/613788490408394774/629753887724666900/unknown.png[/img] Kinda annoying + I know it's unintentional, but hopefully it can be removed! Iirc Ads by WGX have been an issue before and it's no worries, just an inconvenience, but thank you in advance if this gets fixed! Edit: ah sorry I didn't get a chance to screenshot the source Edit 2: sorry I can't right click inspect them or else it clicks the link

Got the McAfee thing again and then a new tab popped up to Windows 7 repair at Reimage Repair if my history is reading right. Sorry I can't provide screenshots but again it's listed in my history if you want the web address to block.
