Constant intrusive videos

The site runs so much faster. I used to think my phone/ iPad was slowing down, but it's just the site. Even typing is quicker.

Sorry if I’m being stupid, but I installed DuckDuckGo and there are no ads at all. It’s crap for browsing as the results are useless but it’s good for MN and online news

has anyone else used it ?

Yes even typing is slow. Latest iOS on iPhone and iPad.

The pages are slow to load and/or keep reloading, it's almost unusable (I'm assuming this because of the size of the adverts?)

Since we have been prevented from using adblockers I make a point of
never clicking on any advert that comes up and I just ignore, however, there have been so many intrusive adverts over the last few days that I'm getting rid completely by using the 'hide distracting items' button on my iPhone/ipad.

Really feels like the site is going backwards.

Please please recommend me a free ad blocker . I’ve just tried to look up a recipe. Can’t even see it because of the ads.

I miss the days when Mumsnet was the go-to interviewee for women’s voice. Surely the owners got more satisfaction from that (and more than a living salary) than this advertising hell?

Your site is unuseable
these ads make the site completely useless and sure as heck won't make me buy anything

Those shitty click bait news webpages are like that. No reputable website is that dysfunctional

It's like the old websites in the 2000s with ads flashing everywhere. No other website is like this.

I’m so sick of the heavy advertising that impacts MNing.
I swear @MNHQ are toying with us to see how annoying it has to be for us to abandon ship.

And now I’m finding pages don’t scroll properly, they move increeeeedibly sloooooowly and it’s unusable.

Probably because there’s so many crappy videos trying to load 😡

My screenshot is under review. I am rather hoping that it gets rejected by the AI because that would prove how bloody inappropriate that ad is and how it has no place repeatedly popping up on this site!

Today I'm getting the video ad that just won't quit! In the time it took me to quickly tap out one post on a thread, the same popup appeared (and I closed it) 6 times. It was a popup for knickers or something and I didn't really want my young children seeing me on a site where apparently grown women prance around in nude knickers that look invisible from a distance.

Also, are your sponsors who are paying for advertising space happy to know that the ads they've paid for are being covered up by other ads? Because if I was spending my advertising budget I wouldn't be happy to drop it on a site that was allowing that to happen.

Duck Duck Go is my Android browser as well. I said use it in answer to somebody specifically asking about Chrome on a laptop, but I've got an Android phone as well.

Wouldn't know what to do with an iPhone if you chucked one at me.

I'm on an Apple laptop and can't see anything like that. Any suggestions?

I had to disable my ad blocker. It allows you to view a few threads but then blocks you.

This is how it currently looks - screenshot from just now - hardly any text visible

Still happening. It's bloody annoying and means I lose patience for using the site after a few minutes. I'm on an android phone.
@MNHQ why no response to this thread?

I personally make a point of not buying from brands that deploy annoying adverts. You have to vote with your feet.

I’m using the app and haven't noticed it so far but if it becomes intrusive I would just leave.

Really sick of this.

I'm on an Android phone so can't use the advice being posted here for Apple products.

This place only works with an ad locker 🤷

Hello mnhq advertisers 😆

Mumsnet - you need to stop these ads. They are making me feel sick!

How much is it to subscribe?

How do you do that?
