I just got the second of this kind of ad (pop up survey type), both relatively recently. What's up with that yo?

I usually have adblock turned off for tf.tv, but I noticed my tf.tv tab on Chrome freezing. I turned it back on and tf.tv was fine.

Idk which ad is specifically causing, but I feel pretty guilty for having adblock on for tf.tv. Could it have been this popup ad that was fucking me?

maybe if you would update your browser to be more recent than 1994 you wouldn't have issues...

I haven't had to deal with any pop up adds, as I have ads visually disabled on tf.tv my initial though from looking at the picture was that you may have downloaded adware but since other people are experiencing it and having it in mobile that makes me think otherwise. Oh and before anyone gets on me about blocking ads here, the blocker I have makes the advertiser think I saw the ads therefore TF.tv is stil getting there money.

Hmm... I don't have those ads, tbh, I don't have any ads on TF.TV, even without AdBlock for some reason.

Where even is the button for it nowadays? I tried finding it some days ago, but gave up quickly.

It's currently being revamped, which is why it's not available right now.

hey dude, sorry for the late reply. trying to track down the ad but with no luck. could you give details to following for me?

  • browser and version
  • OS
  • whether you accept 3rd party cookies

i realize it may not be applicable for this particular case, but I've added a report button for potentially problematic ads in the bottom right of each ad container to better diagnose and quickly fix problems in the future.

appreciate the sentiment but uBlock Origin does no such thing -- if you don't see the ad then the impression doesn't count.
