Just had one for a lawn care company or some shit that added an obnoxious border and then filled the entire bottom 50% of the screen

That's exactly what we wanted, great work @SBAllen

Please use adblock when using this site
It's probably the only site I'm guaranteed to get at least one fucking hijacker from if I don't use one

If you need help setting one up, please let me know and I'll help. I'll just need to know what device you have/browser you are running.

First of all, it's really easy to install an adblocker on your browser regardless of device.

Second, I don't understand why this site in particular has so much trouble with annoying ads that they had to put a dedicated Report Ad button in the page footer. Who the hell are they selling ad space to?

iOS:
https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-for-ios.html

Please note that unlike Adguard for Android, iOS app has no option for blocking ads in apps. This is the app for ad blocking in Safari browser only.

The wording of that sentence is a little weird. Do they mean it only works with Safari browser?

Happens sometimes, but tbh i havent had it happen in a while

another thing is sometimes the ad will fail to load, causing the whole page to fail until it finds a new ad to show

Officially yes.
I don't have mine jailbroken but I never really see ads in other apps, like a reddit store app for example

We don't see the same advertisements as you, so unfortunately we have no way to report his ad to our team to get it removed without additional information.

If you are able to capture a screenshot of the intrusive ad, please submit a new feedback form with it and we can get it taken care of.
GameFAQs -- 06/10/2022

So nobody on the GameFAQs admin team has an actual account they browse the boards on, or if they do, they just straight up admitted to blocking ads themselves lmao

Yeah, but the vanilla mobile version is missing out on some important ones (e.g. SponsorBlock and Bypass Paywalls Clean)
