Is it some kind of a bug?

   Hello Beautiful Souls,
   
   I'm using the Chrome browser on my laptop, and I am not using an adblocker. Still, I can't see any ads on my or other people's articles. I can just see the video at the top of the page and related articles, but no ads. Is this some kind of bug?
   
   
   
   I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or HP's end; is anyone else facing the same issue?
   
   Best Wishes!

      Hi, Misbah. I'm using Chrome on my laptop, too. I just looked at articles from several authors (including some of yours), and I can see the ads.

      Try clearing your cache. When I have had a problem with HP and Chrome that has fixed it.

         Sherry, I may add with your permission as a side note, not just the cache, but the browsing history, as well.                                             Also, Misbah, should clear all junks and tracking cookies. It helps. Thank you.

      Are you using a VPN? That can cause ads not to display correctly.

         I'm not using a VPN, Matt. I also cleared the caches, but the problem persists; I am not sure why. (I've just noticed that it just happens in the Chrome browser on my laptop; I can see ads in the Safari browser on my iPad.) Thank you very much for your reply. It's nice to see you helping and being active on the forums.

   Hello Misbah, it must be a problem at your end because I am seeing as many ads as usual on all the articles I looked at.

   I see. Thank you very much, Linda and John. Then it must be a problem at my end.
   Blessings to both of you!

   I am thankful to Matt Wells for his assistance and kindness. With his help, I finally figured out that the problem I was facing was due to a browser extension. I had a browser extension named "McAfee WebAdvisor."  When I turned off the extension, everything returned to normal. I can now see the ads.
   
   Thank you so much, Matt, and thanks to all of you who responded to this forum. I appreciate it very much.
   
   Best Wishes!!
