It happened to me just now on chrome. On chrome, I cannot even load this thread, it's redirecting me to some URL. Posting this using Firefox.

For me it happens in mobile data as well

use samsung browser with adblock plus or if u use other android phone.. use browser with adblocking function..

Having the same issue here as well..using a galaxy s6 here..though was my phone that got infected or something..almost on the edge of resetting the phone..it happen both on wifi and mobile data..below are the screenshot of the history of my chrome browser when the pop up happen..sometimes chrome will manage to block it but most of the time not..

one weird thing I notice is that it will only happen on the mobile version of the forum and not the desktop version eventhough it is access through the phone browser..and it has been happening for the past few days.. 

Its redirecting me to englearnsh.com..

just checking.. new device?

also, I think clearing browser history, etc might make it worse.

the ads are served by Google owned company and it's based on your profiling. I only got these ads on my new device.

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.

More information needed, we can pro-actively block the particular ad, but i haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my nexus and s7.

me used this browser, no problem

I'm having this annoying popup ads on my phone everyday while surfing /k/. Also on chrome.

This is a new phone and i hardly surf anything else other than LYN forum and a manga site. Problem only occur on LYN.

Out of curiosity I tried browsing /k/ using chrome browser on my Nexus as well and I did not encounter any popup ads.. Can you guys post more specific details such as the thread you went that causes popup ads to happen, the period you have been browsing until popup ads happen.

Example: 10 minute into browsing /k/ OR opening TM Unifi Highspeed Broadband thread OR it happen randomly

Just happened again. Argh. Annoying douuuu

Edit: seems like getting more severe. Almost every thread i open links me to that virus ad.

Even after posting this, i had a pop up..

On digi mobile data.

I just reset id.

Reason i opted to not use chrome was solely because of this...

Update

After some digging, it looks like it was specifically targeted to certain devices, on the Mobile section only.

We have blocked some of the ads which could be used to push the pop up (thanks google for NOT filtering malicious ads)

Do let us know if its still appearing.
