Can't scroll past some adverts

I'm on an android phone using chrome, on some threads I will reach an advert and then cannot scroll past it!

If I remember rightly, I saw a thread saying the same thing l, so I didn't post as I assumed it would be fixed, it still seems to be happening though!

I'm not sure how tech are having trouble replicating it when it's happening literally every second thread for me and has been going on for 2 months now. Just happened on the aushwitz thread now. Google Chrome on Android, mobile site.

It's the same for me on android using chrome. It seems to 'stick' on adverts

RonCarlos · 24/01/2022 19:20

Same here!

Sorry, but after two months, I've installed an adblocker

CurrantAffair · 24/01/2022 21:28

Ffs sake it's happening me on every thread now Angry

I'm off, enough of being fobbed off and nothing being done about it.

This thread has been running for 2 months and the examples are just now being sent to Tech. It is a very leisurely way to run a digital business.

@BackBackBack

Incidentally MNHQ if I didn't have adblocker enabled the site would be totally unusable on mobile.
Every now and then the site stops working for me with the ad blocker and a message pops up essentially telling me I'm not allowed to use the site unless I disable it. So I do, for a few minutes, then turn it back on again. It seems to work for a while, before the cycle happens again!

And again. I'm amazed at how long it's taking to sort this.

The thing that frustrates me most is that my entire phone freezes when I get stuck on Mumsnet. I struggle to get any buttons to respond and usually have to do a soft reset or restart of the phone. Is this causing damage to my phone and leaving a dodgy footprint?

poorbuthappy · 25/01/2022 08:27

Perhaps if the android app worked like the apple app less people would have to use the browser version on their phones.

Good point. The android app is extremely basic
StartupRepair · 25/01/2022 08:53

What adblocker do people recommend for an android?

DazzlePaintedBattlePants · 25/01/2022 21:11

I have an enormous godawful advert for Malta on this thread, that I couldn’t scroll past:

DazzlePaintedBattlePants · 25/01/2022 21:12

Sorry, meant to say on last post this is on Safari on iOS.

UpDownRound · 25/01/2022 21:38

This is happening to me using chrome. I have to minimise the window and reopen it to get past the ad.

Froze for about 5 minutes tonight. Went off and did other things, came back and still frozen.

Spottybutterfly · 25/01/2022 23:12

This happens to me on nearly every thread. Using an Android phone and chrome browser.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 26/01/2022 01:17

I’ve installed an ad blocker now, and all fine. Sorry, Mumsnet.

BlackberrySky · 26/01/2022 01:31

@Judystilldreamsofhorses can I ask which one you installed please? I am so fed up of this issue.

Graphista · 26/01/2022 05:11

Been debating starting a thread of my own. I'm on iPhone on the app and while not freezing totally it "pauses" then jumps about 5 posts down! So then I have to scroll back up the way to get to where I was - annoying

PartyPlan · 26/01/2022 09:45

This morning has been the worst yet, the site is slow and not loading properly on threads and even when going to the topics page. I have super fast broadband and every other website is loading immediately. I’m using the website on Safari.

Please sort it out! Sad

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 26/01/2022 11:45

@BlackberrySky it’s called Ka-block - I read an article about good ones then chose that because it was free.
