It will get more severe if u don't take action. there's no permanent fix but u can try this:
Reset advertising ID
Clear browser history and cookies
Wipe browser data and cache

It will stop the pop-up for a few days until it reappears again, but at least u'll have a piece of mind for a few days.

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.

Happened to me in kopitiam and garage sale (mobile)

Can you try to clear/force close your Chrome browser and see if it still happens, i can no longer replicate the issue on my s7 after blocking out the malicious ads from adsense.

Boss,

Im using samsung stock browser (internet) because solely of this issues previously (not lowyat related).

I have clear cache/data and even reset my google ad id.

So far so good. But it showed my browser blocked 1 pop up earlier.

Will try on chrome but i prefer my stock browser. Its lighter and faster. Chrome got a tad bit lag when i switch tabs.

However, to date, no pop ups. Lyn mods did a good job rclxms.gif

looks like they added more ads, and google still isn't blocking them.

Blocked the new ads, do let me know if it still happens.
