Lots of discussion in the Help section of the Forum. Some members have found solutions for the problem. Apparently IB is "working on the problem". I'll bet that it will be some time before a solution that works for everyone is found.

They know I have a Galaxy S8 and heavily damaged by the Four virus and even recommended some remedies. I keep getting it in Android Chrome 63 and Beta.

Seems to be the problem is mostly on this site and not even the **** sites.

I somewhat have to run antivirus on my phone for unrelated issues and it's pop up filter sometimes catches it. It's just moderately annoying that the back button freezes and you have to spam it or reopen the browser. It's really only this site I get it.

i bought a small dell venue pro 8 running full windows 10 PURELY so i could browse CF and a few other places using adblocker. my iphone 7 is becoming less and less useful.

i wish microsoft still made win 10 based phones. i would switch JUST to get the ability to browse using chrome which has the adblocker plugin.

spam ads just **** people off.

What adblocker did you use? My Windows 10 system doesn't have it or redirect issue. Just the Android Chrome

Ak, the chrome i was referring to was the windows chrome browser.

i do not use android i use iphone so my mobile experience differs from yours.

I use my iphone a bit but as far as a small compact form to browse and respond to the forum while im supposed to be sitting on the couch with wifey watching a girly movie that im really not that interested in, i use an 8" dell venue pro using full windows 10 and i get the adblock features in windows chrome. she doesnt mind lol.
