Thank you for the quick response. If no one complains it will be difficult for you to determine if anything is happening. Lets see if others have the issue. I have surfed to several news items so far with no more pop up take over windows. It is intermittent like I said. I just get so annoyed by these people doing it that I wanted to let you know.

This only happens on seeking alpha using my cell phone (android) on the full web desktop site. Samsung S10.

Chrome. Newest.

USA. 

Verizon wireless or comcast internet with wifi.

It only started today. 

Naturally it is intermittent depending on what is served ad wise on the page. I will get a screen shot when it happens again.

Phones getting infected from another site, when updated, is a super rare event. You are basically saying my phone was owned by visiting a website. That would be one mighty powerful hack to waste on ad crap. 

What you mean to say is installing a bad app. DNS servers you are using are not trusted. Or simply visiting a website that allows ads which use javascript or whatever to redirect the page as they wish when conditions are met.

Now if my kids were installing all sorts of crap apps.. i would agree with you. But they are not. I am a network engineer who has worked for ISPs going on 20 years.. so I kind of know when bad ads are more then likely causing the issue as they sneak it in as often as they can get away with it. You will probably not see a ton of complaints as how I use the website may be a minority now days. I do not care for the mobile web page view or your app.

on samsung cell phone I cant get back to desktop version from this new mobile website
