    Hey,
    I opened novelupdates on safari
    Searched for stealing the heavens(don’t read, shitty novel, ch71) then i got redirected to lpserverdomain.c o m/?action=vvlp&cscdkey=98d6d8591926a803fad312770bc9c7ba#

    Returning obviously doesnt work
    So u left novelupdates for good
    Had to open a new tab go to novelupdates
    Typing stealing the heavens and what happens
    Shit happens again same fucking scam ad
    And again
    Well now i am using brave browser, ad free
    Fuck u whoever promotes scams, getting zero ad revenue from me now
    I wouldn't mind friendly ads but if u give me shitty ads which disable the return function then don’t blame me for being ruthless junior

    Hmmm... I don’t get it on safari but I have an option on to block pop ups. It rarely actually works against malicious ads, but maybe it would help you in this case.

    It was super late at night yesterday and right now I'm not on mobile (which is where I exclusively encounter the issue) so I'll see if the issue is still around when I get back on mobile. Thanks for the link to the report thread!

    It’s always pinned at the top of the suggestions and bug reports subforum if you have any issues in the future. Don’t rush to get on mobile, thanks ahead of time for the report!!

    Thanks for the the link, I will use it if it happens again. Right now everything looks fine so I guess the conflicting ad was removed but if it happens again I will report it there.

    My pop up blocker is also enabled, but safari isn't the smartest sheep out there ... :p
