Default Inappropriate ads

The pop up ads are aggravating enough,but now the teenage homosexual amime **** site advertisement is quite enough!
I dont know who at the home office okays these ads, but im sick of this.
Advertisements of rental trucks, used cars, even competitors vehicles are tolerable, but, i believe there is NO proper place here for politicians ads, and certainly not anime gay **** sites.
Please review these ads, and others in the future- paying customer or not, i am on the fence about leaving this forum over these grossly inappropriate ads.
If you cannot/will not do any thing to screen these types of ads, then offer an ad free, paid version of GT, or the individual forums through the app store venues so it is easily obtained/purchased. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation- Regards, Bear.

Ads are usually driven by your search history.

The fake virus ad has nothing to do with your histor. It is simply poor quality ad network that Internet Brands allows. I supplied a screen shot as requested and the problem continues. Use technology to avoid the problem.

Implement the work around below, suggested by Corvette Forum admins. It has completely eliminated the popups I was getting only on Internet Brands sites.

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

Then enable the highlighted option.

This is something I’ve been getting as well. Tech is working on it and every time I see one, I forward a screenshot and a URL for it.

its being addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That said, I’ve never seen one about pornography. That’s new. If it pops up again, send me the URL and I’ll have that one added to the list.
