A lot of ads on XDA . - About xda-developers.com

Anyone noticed at times when using the internet 9 on windows that if you try to back out of a page you can't . On XDA.... Not talking about other sites..
When you right click the back button 4 ads seem be already clicked even tho you didn't click any . Seems like some topics or forum's ads are preloaded into the links.

Google chrome + Adblock =
In all seriousness though, I don't use IE9, and never had an issue like yours on Firefox or Chrome

Got the same problem, only on XDA and it started about three weeks ago.

Wonder if they will fix that and pull the ads from the thing .

As others have said Chrome plus Adblock work wonders. If you insist on using ie take a look at TPL lists http://dayngo.com/static/filter.html

Why should I change my browser of choice for one offending website?
Get rid of the liftdna BS!

I like internet 9 no issues with it just don't like how pages will hang to you can't back out . Because you are kinda forced on clicking ads that you don't wanna click on due to it being embedded into links.
I know sites make money off ads nothin wrong with that . Just wish it wasn't snuck in like that lol. Anyways hope you guys have a good weekend
See alot of that liftdna... Wonder what that is for?
Happy I haven't ran into any talking ads in awhile tho

I think peerblock will block the ads in internet explorer. I use it to torrent more privately.

I have heard about that program . Works well from reviews I have seen about it. Just noticed ads seem to be going more crazy nowadays.
I know the post got moved to off topic but I was talking about XDA not other sites or websites lol... Anyways whatever works best for everyone

All I was saying is IE has a built in blacklist that can be activated via the list I linked earlier.

ADS? What is that? (Firefox+Adblock Plus)

I also have that problem on the school computers (can't load an alternative browser)

The ads are way too much. Like most said I dont really mind ads but I hate the ones that block and have a small ass X I cant hit that on my phone browser and I hit search everytime until I get pissed enough to use my PC instead. Is there a way to block them on the phone browser as well? I am trying to download a rom from the site on my phone itself and cant hit the damn x

Finally: Browser Desktop Displays!

This is the first third party browser that displays desktop pages across the board...including NYtimes, engadget, gizmodo, wired etc
Which you say? New Firefox release. There is a desktop addon you have to download but it works beautifully!

Ok....so I must have one major bug then.
In all of the browsers you guys have mentioned not one, with desktop useragent setting, loads the desktop version of the sites mentioned in my post....nor about 10-15 others.
I assume yours DOES on those sites mentioned?

Too bad, it doesn't support flash..
yes and the display is poor....
I have found thy with boat browser mini...that if you copy the URLs of sites out want in desktop and put that URL/site in their site speedial home Pages I will then display the desktop at all times.
opera mini DOES display desktop...but its a bit of a clunky interface.
sorry I mean Opera Mobile.
Just type about:useragent in the stock browser

This only works for certain sites. Many sites like Engadget do not adhere to the stock browser user agent. So far, Firefox is the only one that works like what the OP says. Dolphin HD, Opera Mini, and Skyfire may all have settings to set user agent as "desktop", but many sites still go to the mobile versions.
i gotta admit though, i am excited about ff mobile!

Have you tried removing it? If it doesn't let you have you tried to go into Titanium Backup and deleting it from there?

That's the website that both the market icon and search take me to. There is no application that's related to these 2 programs that I could find.

You must have installed a crappy app that put those there. Backtrack a little, what were the last apps that you installed?
Thats a tough one. I just did an odin of stock then back to 2.7 calk with ICS theme. I installed about 30 apps not through titanium. I keep a running list and no apps have changed in at least 60 days. Hmm
Your phone has a bug... Factory reset and don't install the "Sexy Time You Have Won a Million Dollars From a Nigerian Price Angry Bards Random APK On The Internet" app this time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Handango.com is one of the VERY first app markets out there, long before android came about. We're talking palm pc, even before pocketpc which was before even Windows mobile.
It's just YET another marketplace to spend on apps. Think amazon market, Samsung market, etc.
On the other hand, no idea what you installed that got you their market. I HAVE heard of a few apps installing this that came from pirate sites.

I have a Vibrant and after letting the real Market run updates on a bunch of apps, I ended up with these same two icons.
Download Addons Detector and it will list all the advertising and other junk associated with every app on your phone.
I had that happen on my niece's tablet. It's caused by an app. Just drag and delete the market since its not an actual app but a shortcut to the websites page and then set a new homepage in your browser since the fake market overwrote yours.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Yep this is what I did. I deleted them and cleared my internet cache and so forth. I do find it strange however, because I don't visit any pirate sites at least that I'm aware of. Since delete nothing has come back. Thanks for the tips.

Haha, my girlfriend was asking me if there was an app. My research showed there was one but it wasn't official and got pulled. The APK is no where to be found.
So yeah beer, football, cars, and boobs... Nothing to see here, move along.

My girlfriend just accesses it via Dolphin on her Epic. Did some research, and there is no official Pinterest app.
Just create a browser link on her home screen to http://m.pinterest.com/ and tell her you found it.
Edit: It looks like all the Pinterest apps were removed from the Market. No idea why.
I found this one but don't ask me if it works or not

Thanks, I am in the same boat with the Mrs....
There isn't an official app for pinterest that i'm aware of, but it shouldn't be too long now since the iphone version was released not too long ago. I also found the mobile version of the website buggy on Dolphin HD, Chrome, and the stock browser which is probably why she wants an app.
That pushpin app looks neat - too bad it's already gone. I wish pinterest would hurry up and release an app if they're going to make google remove all non-pinterest pinterest apps.

I love the 90s. Good times.
unless the only thing you use your phone for is facebook why would you want this? can it even make calls? looks gaudy from the video in the op.
Facebook is wack as hell and just another way for people/the governemnt/etc to stalk the shi* outta you. I deleted mine in the summer of last year. Too much crap for me, I stick with Twitter 99% of the time and once in a while I'll go on Instagram.
It's way too intrusive and I don't just mean in terms of your privacy it just made me think that my phone isn't an android anymore it's a facebook phone, kind of like the myspace phones that came out a while ago. If I feel like going on facebook I'll just stick to clicking my app, I don't want it in my face everytime I unlock my phone
I don't want this anywhere near my phone based on the discussion above and the fact that its highly unnecessary.

I don't see using it myself, but there are those people that still live in Facebook (Grandmas, lonely people who's best years were in high school, those people you see in clubs and resturants sitting together but all looking at their phones, or only got a smartphone to access Facebook mobile). For them, its not bad.
This is their dip in the water to see if there is interest in a Facebook backed OS. If enough people want to see all Facebook all the time, I think Facebook one day will make their own OS so they can do Android-like and IOS-like data mining.
