Roger, I'm fairly sure it's not the forum's fault. So far I'm not getting the pop-ups. Thank goodness.....

Damn right! It's a royal PITA!!! It's pissin' the wife off big time. Her iPad is constantly locking up as a "WINNER" of some crap. When Grandma is not happy, Grandpa's life is not happy by default.

If anyone knows the answer, I'm all ears! Grandpa needs to be happy!

Firefox is a great solution to adware. Also consider installing CCleaner. It removes most of the tracking cookies and things that annoy you when you browse the web, ie.pop-ups, un wanted ads, and redirects.

I have Firefox on her iPad, still getting hammered. Only way out is double click firefox, swipe it off the screen and then go back in. If she is using Safari, double clicking and swiping doesn't do squat as the popup is still on Safari after you reopen it. Safari requires going into settings and removing data which wipes out ALL of her stored passwords. She is not a happy Grandma!

I even added an APP that is supposed to stop Ads, well

Purify doesn't stop squat!

I'd slap on uBlock Origin if I could but the iStuff won't take it.

Non of your linked threads solve the problem. We're not having issues on PC (desktop or laptop). This is on iPhone and iPad.

I've been scouring the internet for two weeks for a solution and no joy on the search. It seems that according to the iPhone folks, this can't be happening on their iDevices. Well, don't look now, but it's happening.
