Could you please do something about this? Maybe have no video ads? It's used up almost my entire data allowance for the month already, and were not half way yet! Angry

How do you set up an ad blocker on a mobile? That sounds ideal.

Hahaha at me ever being able to use the dark web... I'm not even 100% sure I know how to get an app onto my phone Blush

I need to ask a 12yo, right?

Hi MachiKoro,

So sorry you find this a PITA - if there are any specific ads that bother you, please do let us know. If you send over a screenshot, along with what device and browser you're using, we can always take a look.

Thread I started (and had ignored) a few days ago about the exact same issue. It has pics of the reebok ad. Saw a new one today too, some guy on a moped.

Morning BankWadger, thanks for flagging this one and apologies for missing it first time round.

Could you please let us know which device and browser you're using?

BankWadger · 25/06/2016 14:27

Android
Samsung internet for android

Reebok has been replaced by Hyundai

Hi all,

Is this still an issue for anyone?

BankWadger · 30/06/2016 21:57

Yes. There is a Scotrail ad playing at the bottom of this page as I type.

Wish I could find and ad blocker for my phone.

For what it's worth I have no issue with static advertising, but in a small screen moving images is very distracting and painful (as painful on eyes). And for people on a limited data allowance, data sapping.

RebeccaMumsnet · 30/06/2016 22:08

Thanks Bank, we'll hand this over to the ads team and see if they can sort it.

Apologies
