We've got the techs working on it.

I was dealing with it since October, finally got the Adblock which stopped it. Had to turn it off tonight to access another site, came back to FG and forgot it was off. Bam, instant amazon pop up.
Sorry to be that guy, but I’ve been hearing “the techs are working on it”for months.
I think you need new techs. My IT guy at work said it’s really not that difficult.

Yup

It's a lot more difficult than even I thought. Apparently, the ad guys are injecting code into seemingly normal ads and making it very difficult to locate and pinpoint which ad network it is coming from. They now have Google themselves involved.

Sorry - I'm sure it's gotta be a mess to get through. As of today, I can't even get to the site before getting the ad on mobile...

We sent some serious in depth info to Google this morning, so I'm hopeful that will help.

Keeping my fingers crossed it has become almost impossible to visit FG from my phone.

Not yet. They are working with Google now though.

Guys the best thing you can do on FG is to switch to Firefox for the browser on your mobile devices. It works great and it doesn’t allow the pop ups.

Or use Tapatalk. But, FG should fix their website...

It’s not a problem with the website. It’s a google issue and can happen on any website that runs google ads. Google will block it, but they tend to find ways back in every now and then.
