Pop ups ads and dodgy redirects.

[scott]

I'm afraid i can't really be of any help i still get the continuous pop-ups when i came here daily, i just keep on clicking them away & eventually they go, i thought i had an ad blocker on turns out i obviously don't, if anyone can recommend a good one i'm all ears. as for the redirects i don't get those just the pop-ups usually between two to three a day.

@scott - I'm pretty untechy, but between 'em the NoScript and Adblock addons seem to keep most things at bay. NoScript is a bit severe and requires permission tweeks but erring on the side of caution suits me.

use ublock origin. if add-on doesn't work try this: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=16543

Guys.

I've never heard of "ublock". Always good to know of alternatives to adlbockplus so thanks redfive.

The easy option is to right click on all links/pictures then open in a new window/tab. Usually works.

Hello and welcome to the forum ntpole. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I do usually open links in new tabs, but only 'cos then I can close the tab without having to click backwards when I've finished looking or downloading.
