Video ads interfere with typing

[Blueshound]

Hi,
I've noticed that in the last couple weeks the video ads are placed directly over the text box where I can enter my responses on posts. This makes it very aversive and unpleasant to use the forum.
There doesn't seem to be any way to close the ad. So I end up typing most of the post blind because I can't see what I'm typing.
This is on Android mobile device.
Anyone else having this problem?
My apologies if this is in the wrong place, if so mods please move to the correct section. I could not find a section about forum technical comments or suggestions. Thank you.

This was a problem a lot of users had running Google Chrome. And you running chrome?

Yes

I use Malwarebytes Browser Guard as an extension on Chrome. I haven't seen ad one while using this site. MBG blocks 34 sites while using this forum. Hopefully I won't get banned for revealing this. I have been banned from other forums for less. No worries because banning only blocks you from making a post or seeing member only threads.

I use the "Brave" browser on mobile Android.
I don't even see the ads. In fact this forum is one of the cleanest fastest smoothest to navigate there is

This issue comes up from time to time. Hopefully someone else that was dealing with this can chime in to suggest how to stop the ads. I have never seen one myself on this or the other f150 site

I had that issue this morning with the ad. I'm not usually using my phone but it let me scroll the post up behind the ad so I could check it before I posted so that the spell checker didn't make me more of an idiot than I am.

Maybe it's a sizing thing because there was an ad in the lower right hand corner of this page on my desktop but it let me x out.

I started noticing the same sometime earlier this week. But most of the ads I've seen have a small 'x' to close them. Irritating for sure though.

The x is too small to press. Strangely the problem seems to have gone away for now.

Thanks, I will investigate the Brave browser.

I didn't make that post too clear. This morning first thing I WAS on my phone which I don't normally use.

The ad is still here right now on my desktop though. It's a chromebox.

These ads are really killing my experience here. Not something I have to deal with on other forums. I get having ads but I feel like I can’t click anything without another one popping up everytime

Thus why I use the Brave (there are others) for forum browsing.
I will happily support the forum with cold cash. But I can't truly enjoy the experience being nagged by ads or pop-ups

Thanks for the tip, downloaded and using it now! ?

Adblock is a must on internet these days.
