Thanks, we're looking into it. Please post screenshots and the EXACT time when you saw the ad (and your timezone).

please let us know with another post and time stamp if you get this again, we have been working on it all day.

Thanks for the screenshots and the detailed reports (on the exact time / timezone this happened). We're digging through our logs to see which advertising partners might have had these sneak through so we can block them ASAP!

Thanks for the reports and the patience as we try to find / block the advertising partners that are letting these ads sneak through.

We're working hard to get them blocked.

Thank you for the additional updates. We will dig into it further. In the meantime here are some additional instructions on how to prevent this in chrome:

We made some changes on our end that is hopefully helping to keep these bad-ads out!

I get the app message almost every time I'm on here for more than five minutes. I was wondering if anybody else was having that same problem.

An update: we've been spending a lot of time trying to find where this is coming from. It is also hard to test because it can sometimes be isolated to a small set of users for example, iphone only, on cellular data not wifi, in certain geo-locations, etc.

Please keep reporting if you're still seeing these (with a screenshot, exact time you saw it, and your time-zone). Thanks!
