Honest to god if I accidentally open that SHEIN advert once more

You only have to BREATHE in the same direction as the SHEIN avert as you’re reading a thread and it bloody hysterically inserts itself and you into a new tab. I hate it! Other adverts don’t react like this so why do they have to?

Same here!!

KimTheresPeopleThatAreDying · 27/11/2025 06:31

Glad it’s not just me

Zippedydodah · 27/11/2025 06:29

I’m sick of ALL the bloody adverts especially the ones that flash away on the right hand side.
It’s putting me off MN which is probably no bad thing 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s so annoying. It’s only this ad that does it

Yapper73 · 27/11/2025 02:43

Yeah this is bothering me too - I end up leaving because it’s such a pain

ClaudiaNaughton · 26/11/2025 18:53

Me too but hate the Mumsnet smartphone swivelling ads almost as much.

TotallyJacquelineHigh · 26/11/2025 17:50

I thought it was me too! Have never, and will never buy from Shein, so constantly accidentally opening their website is a daily annoyance!

ElleBelleLou · 26/11/2025 17:49

I thought it was just me! So bloody irritating

naturenaturenature · 26/11/2025 17:47

Every time I go on Mumsnet! It's massively annoying! It's so bad it's putting me off.

canklesmctacotits · 26/11/2025 17:44

Omg - I thought it was just me thinking some ads are more sensitive than others! I’m overseas so probably get different ads: for me it’s a bloody spa break in Guatemala! Aaaaarrrrrggghhhh. It’s so annoying cancelling the tan in safari then navigating back into my folders for the MN app. Many times I’ve not bothered…

CMOTDibbler · 26/11/2025 17:36

I thought it was just me!

kentgardens · 26/11/2025 17:33

And me! It’s the only ad that does this. Nasty pile of rubbish too

purpleme12 · 26/11/2025 17:30

Not on here but I have the same problem with the shein ad when I use Moovit! It's so annoying!
Every other ad you can X out of, but you press X to X out of the shein ad and for some reason it takes you onto shein!! So annoying!!

ChristmaslightsuptilJanuary · 26/11/2025 17:09

Same here

Picoloangel · 26/11/2025 16:56

And Beaverbrooks. Has the opposite effect on me - makes me feel like I would never buy anything if they were the last places on earth. Though to be fair I already feel like that about Shein/Temu etc

aprilstar · 19/11/2025 10:01

Same!!

ADHDHDHDHD · 19/11/2025 06:52

Ok I was on a thread. NO shein advert visible at all and it opened up.
I scrolled up the page towards the top of the screen and there was a shein advert. I absolutely definitely did not accidentally click on it as it was not visible on the screen. iPhone 15.

dointhebestwecan · 15/11/2025 12:03

This!!!!!

scandinavianyellow · 15/11/2025 11:38

I can’t see why MN are taking shein money

ILoveDuckDuckGo · 15/11/2025 00:16

Install DuckDuckGo on your computer or phone, use MN from it, problem solved.

This kind of thing… which opens straight onto a separate tab.

Yes this happens to me too!!!!

Infracat · 14/11/2025 23:59

Same!! It drives me insane. Especially if im on my phone in bed at night and its so bright. Then you try to close it and end up clicking on it again.

Walkacrossthesand · 14/11/2025 23:51

I thought it was my fat fingers - you have to be So Careful not to brush the edge of the Shein advert when scrolling on the app, or you’re suddenly faced with the ad opening in your browser, close the ad, go back to Mumsnet - really tedious.

ADHDHDHDHD · 14/11/2025 23:36

Same here. im sure I’m not touching the screen and it still opens a browser page
