They're usually tracking ads relating to other websites you have visited beforehand. Get them on Facebook all the time, so earlier on was looking at some cross body bags on the Bellroy website, then went on to Facebook and I was getting ads from the Bellroy site popping up annoying saying to remind me to go back and complete my order :cry: bloody annoying.

We use Apple equipment so Safari is our browser. There seems to be a plenty of free apps to install that claim to block these ads. But I’m not keen to install anything I don’t know much about. I’m always frightened I’m going to install something which will corrupt my equipment. Anyone got any ‘safe’ suggestions.

I had a full page one on my mobile chrome browser. Just as I logged into the forum. Had to close it to be able to see anything. Getting the floating banner ads too.
