The Samsung browser is Chrome- based.

I would grab something else like Firefox while we work this out.

I just switched to desktop view and it seems to be ok (touch wood)

Help! Reading bigfooty.com on my Samsung Galaxy S10 or Samsung tablet over the past 24 hours keeps redirecting me to this malware site: 2022325luckyday.top

Happening on both Chrome and Samsung Internet Browser... driving me nuts.

I've tried running Norton 360 which didn't find anything.

There's a problem with Chrome.

Samsung browser is based on Chrome.

Best to download Firefox for now to avoid this problem.

Top drop-down ad on mobile is a little awkward but I will fix that.

What's up? Per post above, that will be fixed.

I was referring to the other post, sorry. I noticed others had issues on different browsers and phones so just added extra info.

Further to the above, also on PC, using Firefox.

You are on PC? Or you are having problems on PC?

The top anchor ad - I am trying to move it via instructions given by Google:

Disable anchor ads at the top of your page - Google AdSense Help

Modify your ad code so anchor ads only appear at the bottom of a page #disableanchorads You can prevent

support.google.com

It doesn't seem to have worked.

Nup, the issue has come back for me just then. I'm back to having to use Firefox

I would remove your Chrome cookies - it might still have something left behind.

Or we could just stop using bigfooty, coz it's not happening anywhere else...

You're welcome to do that.

I had the same problem on PC (Firefox), iPad and iPhone (Safari), ads throughout threads, top and between posts. But, I didn’t get those spam things.

OK I get it.

The anchor ads at the top and bottom aren't an issue. We know what they are and where they come from. I'm just trying to get the mobile ones to sit at the bottom of the page. And they are just replacements for the other ad networks - a rogue ad on one of which is causing the browser redirects.

These ads have recently moved from being at bottom of screen to the top.
The top sucks as it covers the menu items, notifications etc.
Chief - you got any control over where these appear?

Read posts above - yes I am working ou how to move them.

What a pain in the ass but also a blessing in disguise as I've now converted to DuckDuckGo which is awesome.
