    I keep scanning my phone for adware or viruses but nothing is coming up. I keep getting some spam pop for virus software then it redirects me to my app store.

    Happens to me a lot. I'm in Dark mode, maybe that's why.

    Dark mode FTW but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

    How many people use dark mode might be a good poll question. If the majority don't, I have to believe it's because they don't know about it.

    Yes getting weird pop up crap on chrome mobile. I first used Firefox mobile for CF but embedded tweets weren't loading. Then switched to chrome mobile but those ads popped up. Now back to Firefox.

    I get this constantly on my phone. This website only. I am always clearing cache and whatnot because I'm a-feared of some kind of virus or adware.

    I know many of you may laugh, but Microsoft Edge for mobile is a great browser. Built in ad-block on both Android and iOS. It's the only way I can browse CF on Android.

    Ever since I got a new phone (note 9) no issues (so not sure if it's the new OS version or Chrome update).

    I had a Note 5 before, and I know it was solid (no virus/malware etc.) and only this site was doing the redirects. The only fix I found that worked (other than an adblock browser) was to force/request Chrome to desktop mode.
