    I'm tempted to root my phone and hack the hosts file.

    Or just download a special browser for this site.

    Honestly, if your on mobile, whatever browser (I use chrome) your using just *ask for desktop version* in the options tab.

    It makes it a little less clean, because mobile version is great imo and desktop is too much for the phone, but it completely eliminates the pop ups.

    Ever since I did that, not a single pop up, switch to mobile version one day to check and 5 minutes later redirected.

    *side note* twitter videos don't load for me. Instagram, YouTube everything else loads. Twitter pics and posts load, just not the videos. But the viewing has been much more enjoyable.

    hasn't happened to me in quite a while, today it happened constantly on an iPhone6s Plus using Safari. IOS 10.3.3 Didn't even let me log in before redirecting to those pages. Made CF 100% completely inaccessible. Probably tried at least ten times to log on just to see what happens, finally gave up.

    I don't think it has anything to do with the mobile version, I read full desktop all the time.

    Well I don't use apple so I'm completely uneducated in that system, but on Android it absolutely makes a difference for me. Ever since I switched to the desktop version I haven't had a single popup

    Cleared browsing history and cookies on iPhone and it has worked for now. Annoying as I have to log back into the sites I visit but was getting redirected on a ton of sites.

    Seems much improved now, to me, on my iPhone, and I'm doing nothing different really.

    It was improved for a while, but it's back and worse than ever now.

    Redirects every single time I click on anything. Took about 10 mins to get to this page.

    It hasn't been an issue for me the last few days. Clutch, whatever you did to fix it -- thanks!
