Visiting only this site I'm getting redirects telling me.. literally voice warnings that my phone is infected and needs cleaning. I used to be able to back out and get around. But now they are getting worse and harder to break out of . They launch an app in the play store. Getting close to saying screw this site and its ads.

What info do you guys need to take up with advertisers to stop this?
 
It's being discussed in the thread I linked to. If you want to help, you will have to download the program mentioned by Viddyvane, and connect your phone to a computer to log everything, and then send it in. I agree it is really bad. I can't use Chrome on my S7 Edge at all when I visit the forums, as I get with all sorts of annoying redirects. When I'm not trying to log stuff, I have had to switch over to a browser with an ad block extension.
