When I browse or interact with ReligiousForums online, 90% of the time I am doing so from my smartphone. Currently I use a Galaxy S6 edge +, I haven’t tested this on the iPhone we also have.
When I open a thread from the smartphone browser, using the Dolphin browser, for example right now where there is an ad from Adidas and “Show Your Colors” and “Shop Argentina”, the ad covers from the top of the browser in a vertical manner to the bottom of the browser and covers over 1/3rd of the screen. There is no “hide” button visible as you would see from the laptop browser. It does not matter if the phone is flipped vertical or horizontal, the same problem. Cannot zoom in or out, the ad simply zooms in proportion thus resolves nothing.
This has never been worse. Many, if not most, are now using a smartphone instead of a laptop or desktop computer to browse the internet. While it is true, from the laptop where I am typing this post because I cannot use RF on the smartphone it is so bad with the pop-up ads, while it is true from the laptop you can see the “hide” button or an “X”, the same ad engine Q1Media does not show this hide button from the Dolphin browser. Even with the laptop, this is getting out of control. The screen on the Galaxy S6 edge plus is 5.7 inches (~75.6% screen-to-body ratio) and even that is not big enough since the pop up ad covers over 1/3 of the page you are trying to read and does not allow a “gap” where you can see the text covered on the right side since the ad literally runs from the top of the browser all the way to the bottom.
