Unhappy Annoying

I've got this very annoying ad that tales up about 1/2 of my screen. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it. Any advice? TIA

Have you installed a adblocker app? The one I use is called "Adguard" and it seems to work well.

I believe you will need to provide a lot more information to get a good reply.
For example;
What browser are you using?
Does it occur on one site or all sites?
If this only occurs on one what is the site?
Windows or Apple computer?
Have you tried an AD blocker?
What is the ad for, just out of curiosity?
I am sure there will be other questions but these are the first that came to mind.

Are you referring to an ad on the ToTV page? I have Adblock Plus (there are others) and don't see any ads at all.

Another shout for ad block plus. See no ads at all.

My ads just recently started showing up not only between the posts, but in the posts as well. Minor pita. I just scroll down.

Stop downloading porn.


Also, what everyone else said about ad blockers. I use UBlock, Disable HTML Autoplay, and FBPurity for Facebook.

Did you try rebooting your pad, cell, CPU? Once off, wait a few minutes before turning it on again. This normally reset anything that got “stock” in queue in a system.

use private browsing, it will block out a good number of ads, but now & then you will find certain features that don't work as well. in that case, i remove the private browsing while i use that site, then go back. btw, i use duckduckgo or Avast private browsing
