That would be terrific. We were able to get the Applebees ad blocked before, but it looks like it came back.

I just got an Applebee's one. Takes up the whole damn screen of my phone (Android using Chrome). Then they put up a humongous block that asks to share your location with google so they can tell you where the nearest Applebee's is. Just obnoxious.

If you want to get out of it, they force you to back out of the thread altogether.

I have had the blue box, turn your screen ad three times in the last 30ish minutes on my iPad.

Also the huge Applebee’s ad that you can scroll through but it divides up the threads in a very distracting way.

It goes here first:

I am getting this too. It’s not the kind of ad that you can scroll through to get rid of - you have to actually X out of it (as you said).

Here's a different Navy Federal ad. This was for a platinum card. Not a screen takeover ad though.
