Ad blocking entire page

Ad on this page - a pop up no less - blocking the entire screen and scrolling down the page with no X option.

I've been looking at Eurostar recently so I understand how it's tracked me but this ad isn't acceptable.

Morning everyone. We think we have fixed this issue now. If anyone is still seeing this Eurostar ad this morning could you let us know here? Thanks!

Evening @Catabogus . Thanks for the screengrabs. If you happen to have one of the Brittany Ferries ad too could you post it for us? Thank you!

@Catabogus Regarding those Disney ads, there unfortunately isn't much we can do to change that but it does look like they should only appear in that format very rarely. So hopefully it won't affect you again, but if you are seeing it regularly please do let us know and we'll take a look at that.

@twointhemorning
Thanks for sending this over.

This looks more like a performance issue than an ad issue like the others in this thread, so could you please try clearing your cached cookies and images to see whether that helps?

It would also be really useful to know which Samsung tablet you’re using, ideally the exact model, if you can find it, as that may help us narrow things down.

Could you also let us know how performance has been since you first noticed the issue? Are you seeing the same thing every day, or has it only just started happening?

Best wishes,
MNHQ

Hi all,

A quick update from us.

We’ve added an extra precaution so that, if an ad overlays the page content, it should now be blocked. You may see it flicker briefly, but it should then disappear back into its normal frame size. We hope this will help with a number of the issues reported on this thread. Because we’re currently rolling this out, please do let us know if you still see an ad overlaying content. If you can, please include a screenshot, as that really helps us work out where anything is still slipping through.

The second issue is audio playing automatically. We’re still investigating this. It does slip through the net now and then, but we’ve checked all the set-ups we currently have and, as far as we can see, it shouldn’t be getting through. So we’re trying to establish whether something else is going wrong.

Thanks again to everyone who has reported examples, we do appreciate it.

Thanks
