As a subscriber to New Scientist on-line edition; iPad 2, a recent update had introduced embedded flashing adverts and bottom of the page ‘app’ adverts.
Complaints to the NS management produced a sympathetic response and some improvement in the embedded adverts - potentially disturbing to anyone with vision disturbance.
The ‘app’ adverts continue. Some can be cleared by ‘Google’, but this does not remove the frame at the bottom of the page and new ads reloading; it’s location interferes with the flow of reading with page scroll down.
Briefly the lower ‘app’ adverts (Google related) have appeared on other apps.
Fed up with G; web browser changed to DDG, but this made no difference. Also using ad-block and trialed several others without success.
Further complaints to NS, awaiting response.
Any ideas / suggestions. Is this an app related issue or a more general problem.
Is this a hack or infection.
What might be done
