When using an iPhone on millersmad does iTunes keep popping up?

If so does anyone know how I can stop it?

It's really bloody irritating. Even while posting this, the App Store has appeared out of nowhere to some 'Dragon City Mobile' game or something. It does it all the time. Sort it please...

The app is coming up responding to the pop up ads, of which one or numerous will be for ios apps to download.

If you don't use an ad blocker the site on the Mad network are completely unusable. I know they must generate revenue, but it's so bad and intrusive people find ways to stop it which defeats the object. A more toned down approach, and one that is more targeted towards us users may give them more joy. But hey who am I to say

Been doing it on mine for about a week, then yesterday a pop-up appeared asking if I wanted to continue to go to i-tunes, I clicked no and it hasn't done it since. No idea why the question popped up when it did just glad it did..

That's probably why it's not happening for me. I don't use Safari I use Dolphin Browser which has a built in *******er.

Does it to me fairly often, annoying, always for that dragon city app too.
I dont think we can change it, I would have thought it was in the coding of the website.

Don't think there's a way to stop this apart from using another browser. Dolphin is great I recommend folk swich to it to resolve the issue. You just go onto settings and swich on ******* and block pop ups. Thanks crookadile exactly what I was after, couldn't find a decent one. :D :D

Glad I could help.

Anyone else having this problem switch to Dolphin Browser, it's free and better than Safari.

I'm with you on this one Exeter.

The site is a disfunctional mess (and that's not the posters. Sometimes I've come on here to post a comment and given up with frustration after inadvertantly clicking on an advert or the page jumps so I get the wrong thread.

Pigging nightmare on an ipad, marginally better on a PC with all of the spam and *******ers working on steroids.

My new years resolution is that if I see anything advertised on this board I will avoid buying it or using it like the plague.

The other thing it appears to have stopped is the loading wheel constantly spinning even when the web page has loaded, always annoyed me as I guess it was using my data allowance up

3rd question is how/where do I download the Dolphin Browser?

In the App Store just search for dolphin browser to change the settings open the app press the 6 dots icon at bottom of the browser and select settings then turn on ad blocker & pop up blocker. Hope this helps
