At first, the soft core pornography advertisements (disguised as "dating sites,") only showed up on my Words With Friends game app on Facebook. Now, I find them in my HP articles. I've gone through my Google Adsense account; there is nothing in the ads they show that you can adjust (Allow & Block ads) that look like it is triggering this. I've cleaned out my cache many times, now. It's happening on both my Mac notebook and Desktop PCs. Any insight? These ads are disturbing, to say the least.
I use Adblocker. If they were showing up on Facebook, they are probably following you around. Every time you go back on FB more cookies are added to your browser. I hate Facebook
Does Ad Blocker cost money? I Googled it and the sites really don't seem to be clear on what it is, after the "trial." I am also concerned that these porn ads show up when readers access the articles.
It's a free browser extension. What browser do you use?
On my Mac notebook, it's Safari. On our desktop, I usually go to Chrome.
You should look in your browser how to block ads. I use FF and there's in the upper right corner three horizontal strips. Other browsers probably have those too. It opens a menu and then you have to look for ad-ons. Mine is called ABP (AdBlock Plus)
I downloaded an Apple app "Ka-Block," so we'll see if there's some improvement. Thanks.

Just noticed that the facebook like button is not showing in Firefox, although it shows up fine in Chrome when I looked.

I was browsing HP on my mobile device and clicked the desktop function to see how it looked on my phone. HELP! I can't find a way to revert back to mobile. I restarted the phone, powered it off completely and now HP is totally in desktop mode on my phone.

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that Pinterest has changed how you can share your hubs. Before, the image left enough room for you to add text to explain what it was about. Now it is just the image. A lot of us do have writing on the first Image, but I have a lot that doesn't. I think...

Is this browser related? I saw them 2 days ago. I'm using FF 16.0.2. I know a more recent version has just been released, but I haven't updated. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
