THAIPHUKET Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Please tell me that this is not happening or at least how I can stop it forever. During the last few days I had pop up adds while working on Gmail . While typing . While reading. While thinking. And because they pop up while I'm doing something important I don't take the time to notice from whom the ads are coming.I`m on W10 Sent from my Pixel using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Don't use the browser mode of gmail - set up an email program like Thunderbird which is put out by the same people as Firefox. Use imap mode and when you open it it does the log in checks mail in all setup accounts - you can have numbers of accounts in the same program and they don't all have to even be gmail accounts I use gmail program on the phone in the same mode with same multi accounts available at the same time. Once set up it is simple to add or remove accounts and you can have all email accounts on all devices working seamlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deux Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Uninstall Adblock Plus and install Ublock instead. Adblock Plus accepts money from companies to still show advertisements. They call it whitelist bc they think some adverts are acceptable for users (and of course they wanna make some money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a screenshot is only possible Using the power button of the phone. No clue is given how to Stop them.They can come only from Google.Interesting is also that the screenshots can neither attached nor uploaded to TVSent from my Pixel using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
