Ive been getting some kind of rogue popup ads when browsing LYN only, no matter how i try to reset Chrome, reset ad ID, the popup will still randomly appear , only on LYN forums, no matter on WiFi or on data network, here is the post I made in the s7 edge thread thinking I am the only one experiencing the issue

Beem getting this kind of popups while surfing LYN, doesn't happen on my other phones though. Already tried clear data on chrome, reset ad ID but still doesnt solve the problem. Any other suggestions except for hard reset? Tried to scan with malwarebytes and avast but both reports nothing

Turns out its not only me, some others had the same exact issue as well. So its definitely not from my side..

Yep, this happened quite often to me too. LYN need to check their ads.

I have this problem on my 6P too and it happens very frequently on Lowyat. Tried resetting Advertisement ID, clear chrome data and cache, clear browsing history but still getting this damn pop up. So frustrating, can complain to Lowyat admin?

it's so annoying I've tried every damn suggestions/solutions and still no luck. The worst thing about this popup is u can't hit the back button to get back to ur own page. You will have to close the tap and re-search the page you were on. Damn annoying  mad.gif  vmad.gif

Try switching to mobile data and report back.
I suspect something is wrong with the ads in this forum, hope the mods can reply here ASAP.

For me it happens in mobile data as well

Yup, even cleared data and start chrome fresh as if it was just installed

you guys might also want to check your Google Settings under go settings -- Google. if ad personalIzation not enabled, I suspect likely to get more such ads.
