ThePangolin:
I have to note also, that hardware companies are not responsible for advertising. Apple and Android phones are equally vulnerable out of the box when it comes to advertising. However, Apple has set limited on app makers that will cut down on the quantity and size of ads on thier platform. Android however is owned by google, the largest advertising industry ever, anywhere... they encourage as much and as many ads as possible.

Advertising issues in a web browser like chrome or safari is not the fault of the device or the browser, its the website. Whatever advertising you guys are seeing on this forum (i dont see any because i use an ad blocker, which is a wise choice for anyone who gets annoyed by ads), is likely because the admin has chosen to allow a company like Google AdChoices to stick ads in our faces all over on the site. This gives the website creator money every time the ad is clicked, and it helps the ad company get money from the companies they are advertising for.

Simple answer and solution is: all devices are vulnerable to ads, they are caused by websites, not hardware. If you dont like ads, use an ad blocker. Adblock Plus browser is a great internet browsing app for android or Apple, and AdGuard is a great extension for any phone.

I have encountered this myself using my desktop PC and my Android phone too.

Sounds like you have adware on your iPad. There is very minimal ads on the mobile site and I use a very reputable ad network.

There are links to Amazon in the text.
