What types of pop-ups do you get when you log in?
« on: June 08, 2017, 11:32:45 pm »
I want to see what you guys get, considering that these probably won't go until for a while now.  ;D So meanwhile, I guess we can tackle them with sarcasm and jokes.

I recently just got a random pop-up asking me to install a random .exe file on my computer.
Totally safe pop-up 10/10

I don't get any pop-ups. I use an adblocker (uBlock).

i have adblock, but it blocks every other ad except for those popups ;;
i keep on getting one for some kind of "hot dating site for men 50 years and older, 18 year old girls, woman makes first move, join now!!1!!!11!1"
i almost always successfully close the tab before the ad comes up, though

"Buy this book to become successful at life"
Too bad those books are fiction and based on TV shows lol.

They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

Thankfully adblock minimizes my encounters with popups, but they're usually... not too appropriate. Like those weird adult MMO scam types of thing. Nasty stuff. That or I'll get a Windex video advertisement or something.

I don't use any sort of ad blocker purely because I'm lazy. But usually the pop up window is usually either that "Dont enter this game if you are under 18 years old" MMO thing. Or I'll just have other random spam. But it's mostly the 18+ game.

Like everyone else, the so-called "adults only" games. Trust me I played Forge of Empires and there was nothing inappropriate. With Norton on my side those fake updates for applications like Adobe Flash and Microsoft Edge are never a problem, besides the "adult" games. Take note of the quotation marks.
