Disable ad blocker order

I keep getting a 'disable your ad blocker' message filling the screen. Sometimes I can click disable but other times I can't.

I choose no ads. So does that mean I am no longer welcome to use while site? Seems a bit short sighted, but i guess it'll help me meet my goal to not be on my phone all the time!

Anyone else getting this?

Hi there @VenusStarr . Thanks for getting in touch. We have had software designed to prevent the use of ad blockers for a few months now. You can read more about that here.

We weren't sure if you were saying above that you DO have an adblocker installed or not though. If not, it's worth knowing that we have found that occasionally users have other software installed that's triggering the same ad blocker message. Some antivirus or security software includes built-in ad blocking or privacy features that can affect all browsers.

If that might be the case, you could try opening your antivirus or security software and looking for settings labelled for example:
Web protection
Ad blocking
Tracker blocking
Privacy guard
Try turning those off temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. Common software with these features includes: Norton, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Sophos, Avast, etc.

Hope that helps.
