Enter the following URL in the Chrome address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Then enable the highlighted option.
Did this yesterday. Works great!

I use the Garage Talk mobile app from the Play Store on my S8. I never have pop-ups that way. And you can make a list of forums you visit.

Dear OP:

There's a forum for website feedback.


And if you had the mobile app, those ads go away. Had same gripes. Now I just see small Amazon ads on the bottom which are manageable.

I just got this on my iPhone while reading this thread.
I don’t mind non intrusive ads but when you take over my browser and launch new tabs and or redirect to the App Store it burns my vittles.

I’m back just to keep this thread alive in hopes that others follow. Exactly, show me as many in page ads you’d like and make money. But don’t let ads ruin the site. I have an Apple IPhone 8 this is the only site this happens. I love my 2015 King Ranch and have learn a ton from everyone on here, but it’s not worth the frustration. I get enough of that from the old lady, kids, and job. Only way they’ll fix it is if there daily average unique visitors drop. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
