I will also point out that this site is unusable on my iphone with all the pop up adds and videos I just couldn't get through the first 2 mins until all the adds stopped flashing and running.I am not sure how much usage this place gets off of mobile, maybe it is not worth the effort to optimize it...

It's happened to me months ago where I discovered a payment of 5€ on my SIM for an unwanted service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that possible?? Then maybe I should support the modders more than I currently do? Hmm.. decisions, decisions. To stop ads on the Nexus sites without using adblock just become a "supporter". Supporter is lifetime and doesn't cost so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't call it an "ad blocker", but a "malware vector blocker".In any case, I'm a Perma-Prem here, so my malware vector blocker isn't needed here.

pringles89 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thank you Dark0ne. I turn off ad blockers while on the Nexus, but I've gotten a lot of crashes of the browser's flash plugin while on the site, so hopefully the new ad provider will help to reduce the number of issues.
