At least to those stuck with ipads.

I know there are other threads about this, but how about folks running the forum commenting?

The pop up ads for amazon or walmart. I had a picture of it, but for some reason it wont upload.

Ad blockers! I run 2 different ones and I never have those pop up/scam ads show up on my iPad Pro and iPhone.

Bro your not stuck with an iPad, you choose to use an iPad. The rest of us are using mobile phones or other tablets or laptops or desktops or whatever. Use something else and put some pop up blockers on it. Good luck. This forum is great.

I don't get any pop up ads using a desktop.

Desktop only. I could use my Crown Vic to haul dirt & tow trailers - its engine is more-powerful than my truck's. But I use the truck because it does those jobs so much better.

Use a real computer with a fullsize monitor.

So you are comparing an iPad to a desktop PC? Apples to oranges!

Using iPhone it sucks.
Desktop no issues.

Installed StopAd on my iPhone and it is 100% good to go.

Sad thing is, you should not have to install a third party application to visit a website! That just introduces another concern for intrusion, tracking and issues!
