They are gross full page ads, too.

You can disable javascript, and they won't be able to show up or get a proper ad blocker. I typically let unintrusive ads go because that helps support the game, but a full page ad that you have to close with a small x in the upper corner is too much for me.

I'll be blocking all ads if this doesn't stop.

I noticed it after a Google browser update on my phone, like immediately after so that might also be at play unless it's coincidence but I don't believe in coincidences...

It is def google ads that are doing it.

Here is an example:

On a phone it's a bit more annoying.

Like this one too? I wonder if this has anything to do with the decreased revenue from all the changes in 1a

Ill give you all a hint. On the Portal page, click the Gear icon top right corner and select Preferences. Scroll all the way down and select No ads. Note: I have UB so not sure if this actually works but it has been in Preferences since dawn of time.

Ad Level
No ads (for low bandwidth players)
Performance ads
(no ads close to the end of a reset or if you
recently were attacked or made an attack)

That doesn't work I've had no ads selected for years...

Should I put in a Bug report for that?
