I got an iPad air for xmas
 
And when I'm on other sites like DU it suddenly cuts me off whatever I'm reading and opens up the ******* App Store to force me to look at some stupid ad. If the govt. wants people to live with this sort of intrusive bullshit and tolerate limits on the functionality of an iPad because it's recent,I think it's time to get a class action lawsuit goin or toss all the air out.

I'm glad you clarified. I've used this laptop since 2010, and a Nook tablet and a Galaxy Tab (both use versions of Android) and have never seen anything like what she described. I was almost wondering if it was some sort of security hole in iOS, but Mrs. SVPete and one of my daughters have iPads, and they've never complained of anything similar.

There are a couple of conservative news/commentary sites - PJMedia and Breitbart - whose ads do obnoxious stuff, but, again, not anything like what she described. I guess going to "right" websites isn't going to the right websites.

That assumes she is describing her "issue" accurately.

I'm thinking the subway cat has man hands and is clumsy.  S/H/It probably accidentally swipes open the app store while trying to navigate the touch screen.

3. I am having trouble with the site too.
 




Not browser hijacking per say, since I have javascript turned off, but with pages not loading. I think this site gets a lot of attacks from disgruntled hackers who are political operatives.
