Anyone else get bombarded with the same Volvo ad? Everytime I click on a thread or go back I get the same Volvo ad over and over. I'm logged in so is there any way to stop it or at least slow it down?

Quit searching Volvo? Most pop ups are based on search history.

I don't believe that is true. I keep searching "Hot young chicks in my area" and none have come knocking on my door yet. I plan to search "Free beer" this afternoon and see if my luck improves.


I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

It won’t stop till you purchase a Volvo. Then it knows to stop, since you already have one.

I tried that and keep getting KFC ads.

I probably do as much about as much "searching" the internet for various things and reasons as the average person and used to get my share of unsolicited ads and pop-ups but that all ceased after I installed a ad blocking app.

A couple of the most popular (and both of which are free downloads) :


Adblock Plus

Made the mistake of clicking on a link for men's leather belts.

Belts. Belts everywhere.

I would think that was it but I have never searched for a Volvo in my life. It's also the only ad I get here and this is the only place it pops up.

This I use a tablet not a computer or phone. The only add I get also. Adblock doesn't stop it! I understand adds are needed to support the fire, but they shouldn't lock a screen until you react to them!

So, get a got damn ad blocker and quit bitching about something most people already told you how to fix.
