[Bug 1490750] Re: ad blocks web-browser

 

I’m not sure I understand what the issue is. This add uses the
javascript alert() API to display a modal dialog box. This is bad™, but
the browser cannot be clever about which alerts are legitimate, and
which are ads. Closing the dialog should allow you to continue browsing.
Or does it enter a loop and open another dialog again?

Title:
  ad blocks web-browser

  Some types of ads can block the web-browser because you just have the option to click in the add pop-up
  Its very annoying since if you restart the web-browser it charges again the add. The only why to avoid it is after restart web-browser be faster than the app to close the window before it'll be charged.
