Ok add block works! Thank you!
Even uploaded pics..

But still, browser based is not nearly as fluid as it was via app.. I hope this is just a temporary stop on the way to better progress..

New guy. Tried to use the mobile site and always get a malware page takeover that says I have a virus and tries to get me to click on something to fix it. But I know it's malware, I've seen it on other sites. Only happens on f150forum.com.

I found this page while looking for the app,, but see that there isn't one for Android users.

Can't find a "report problems" page so thought this might do. I've seen this on other web sites, it's malware on the site servers.

Great site, the only F150 site I've joined so far, but can't use it from my phone.

Could somebody possibly summarize the ad-blockers, and which operating systems, and phones, they work with? People are saying that they used something posted two years ago but no info about OS or how to get it to work. Lenn put some effort in to explaining how to get Neveradds to work but it's on an iphone.

How about the rest of us, non-iphone rebels? Just asking. Somebody must have a list.

Or just fix it on the site's end...

Do you have a Samsung phone? If you use there browser, Samsung has a free app that only works on there browser for Android. Can't speak for other Android phones.. others can be rooted and use an adblocker

It's an Alcatel. It's cheap. Maybe only the cheap stuff has the problem. Which would be ironic since the cheap guys won't buy the stuff in the ads.

I'll try it. The settings in Chrome say that "some ads" are blocked. Maybe yours will be better. It's funny though, I don't mind the real ads. If they would fix the spam ads, I might actually click through. But now I'm blocking.

Just got on the adblock plus site and looked at the blocker app. It needs access to everything on my phone. Everything imaginable. Not good. Thanks though, I'll see if there are others out there. I've about used up my quota of "fixing the internet" energy for the day though. Besides that, I'm home in front of the big matrix terminal now.

I just installed NeverAds 2 minutes ago, and the mobile site already ‘feels’ different. Maybe I can stay now and become a site supporter! Stay tuned...
