YES. It drives me crazy. Wonderful work but I've seen enough of the potter's wheel! Wondering if the AdBlocker is a safe download. --and, yes, my computer is an older one. Probably needs to go to the shop for a tune-up!

Wait. So you don't see ads on a Mac?? (I'm kidding of course).

this has already been reported and answered.

this info from tech and marketing:

"Our best guess is that user has some sort of browser add on which is delivering ads over content. It's not coming from us. Those plugins will often wait a while after you install it so you don't make the association with adding it.

Those browser plug ins are VERY sneaky. Most come through Internet Explorer or Firefox. Google has been good with keeping Chrome clean from the worst, but even there they can get through. Safari on my Mac [seems to do fairly well at preventing them.] The bottom line with those is that you're going to "pay for it" even if it it's something free, so best to look at the browser's settings / preferences to find where those plug ins are added, then clean it up. Most reputable advertisers will stay away from partnerships with browser plug ins / add-ons which is why you see very low quality companies promoted through them."

short version:

check your browser settings. remove any add-ons you didn't choose yourself.
check the list of installed programs on your computer. research any you don't recognize in case any o
