Keep getting "press and hold" pop up blocks

I keep getting pop ups when browsing the website that say "press and hold" to verify. I am not a bot, I just open lots of tabs to read through financials, analysis, and other metrics at once. Please fix this for me, it makes the site very unusable and disrupts my thought process when I have to wait 5-10 seconds everytime I open a new SA tab.

Same here. I open up 20+ tabs from following so many conversations and reading so many articles.  I even click and hold but that doesn't stop it.  I pay for multiple subscriptions from SA yet I can't use it.

Yeah, this is really stupid. What is that code even in there for? No other website I have ever seen (and that's thousands, of course) has ever had something like this.

For me, it happens on every open page every time I restart Safari. Has been doing this for a while, over many versions of Safari. Has gotten more annoying as I'm restarting Safari more often.

Just started for me. Quite annoying to the point that I will probably drop my subscription

Different browser?  

Update windows?

Different location but same account to see if it's your router?

same location but new account to see if it's account specific?

I get it at work with my Windows work computer and at home with my personnel Mac.

I've been hearing 2023 is the Year of the Linux.

Joking aside, maybe try making a new account then to see if that triggers it?  

If the browsers, OS, java, router firmware have all been updated AND cookies and cache cleared AND it happens at multiple locations on different setups it could be account specific.  

Good luck on figuring it out or getting  seeking alpha to hunt down this bug.  Its super annoying so you have my sympathy.
