I keep getting this pop-up across multiple pages over the last week. Anyone else? I’m on an iPad, up to date.

A quick Google of "f.txt.js" suggests that you have something dodgy on your Safari web browser - not anything to do with Mumsnet.

"f.txt.js is a browser hijacker application that will generate ads and page-redirects from within your web browser, such as Safari. So long as you have this kind of browser hijacker on your system, you will constantly be barraged with pop-up ads, banner notifications, redirect links and other messages prompting you to click on them or to visit a certain website. The purpose of this application is to earn revenue from the clicks on the ads, banners and redirect links."
