This is happening continually. I used to be able to scroll past them but now, if you ho anywhere near the ad to scroll down (it's impossible not to) they open bloody Ali Express.

I'm using the same phone Samsung 25 and the android App, all the latest versions. It's making the site unusable.

I’ve got this with Tesco ads.

Scroll down, Tesco ad appears and freezes momentarily and you click to scroll down and Tesco ad opens. Driving me mad.

I have this with bloody Kent University. Has been driving me crazy as I sometimes end up on it several times during one thread as I scroll down 😀

Hello @StopRainingNow thanks for posting. Could you please send us a screen recording of what you're seeing in the Android app?

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow @Meredusoleil can we check if you're also on the app rather than browser? If you are on the app, we'd very much appreciate a screen recording too.

Still doing it for me, on the app, I’m in Spain and it’s an add for IRYO. Really annoying
