I think it's intentional. There's only so many times you can be fucked with clicking through to deny all access, before you think 'fuck it' and just click okay to fish for all the information wanted Angry

We know there's an issue happening with regards to adblocker. It might be a case of trying to get rid of the blocker altogether rather than disabling it.

Hell will freeze over before I get rid of the adblocker! It happens on IOS without an adblocker.

Sceptical me says that there is a different reason for MN wanting me to disable the adblocker. I have successfully used MN (and the whole Internet) with the same adblocker for over 10 years and haven't had problems with it before and only have the problem on MN intermittently - it hasn't happened today.

@BrizzleMint

I keep getting this on Chrome, it doesn't happen every time as it's fine for a while and then it asks me 8 or 9 times in a row. I'm not using private browsing but I do have an adblocker, it makes no difference if I disable it.

It's happened a few times on iOS as well.

Hi both

Can we ask if you're using private browsing or an adblock at all?

gosh, I was about to come and ask about this. The other day, I was asked about 6 times , moving from one thread to another. Then I was asked again this morning. It hangs for ages too .
