Default Android hijack this is the only site I visit that does it

Hence it is not my phone so the site has probably an unexpected witting java exploit. I have tried to set up the suggestion from another thread to block it worked for awhile and stopped it . research suggests in this scenario the site may be hijacked not my phone. I do like to view the site on the phone but it the hijack to sites that say you have won( stupid scam) make it almost impossible. Any suggestions to avoid this pita appreciated

I use a browser called adblock specifically for browsing this forum and it works amazingly well. Give it a try

There's already a thread covering the issue which is linked below.

While the Advertising team has taken steps against this issue, and I think the fact that the referenced link hasn't seen recent activity supports that, a good suggestion for the end-user is to use Chrome's built-in framebuster option.

Open your Chrome browser window/tab. Then type the following into the address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Then enable the highlighted option.

For more information:

We can't monitor and update duplicate threads covering the same topic, so this topic is locked since it's a duplicate of the aforementioned topic linked above.
