After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Go into Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. This is caused by embedded cookies from rogue ads on websites. I kept getting these every few taps in different apps and sites.
Might also help to use a pop up blocker. I use Crystal Adblock – Block unwanted ads! by Dean Murphyhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-adblock-block-unwanted-ads/id1022177308?mt=8
+1 for Crystal. I've been using since Apple first allowed ad blocking on mobile Safari.
Any opinion on Crystal vs AdBlock Plus? I’m currently using the latter. Neither are rated all that well on App Store though.
Honestly Crystal is the only one I've used on iOS. It's the first one I downloaded, and thought it performed well so I haven't tried a different one. I use it on my Samsung phones as well.
I use Adblock. Not AdBlock. It works great for me. Gets most ads, even in apps. Some ads are sneaky and hard to get rid of.
Can you post a link? Curious
