Is it just me like a Windows update changed something, or is anyone else experiencing the drop-down ad that you have to hit the ^ to get the ad to disappear to see the rest of the forum at the top of the screen?
New Ad format when viewing on a computer
- Thread starter wittaj
- Start date
I have always had the ads, but now they are drop down nonsense that forces you to hit the ^ to see the top part of the forum. See my screenshot above - I now have to hit the ^ to get to the headers of the forum like home, forums, wiki, etc.
The ads used to just be between the various headers and the content below like this, but now every time I click on a thread, that stupid drop-down ad shows up and I have to hit the ^ to eliminate it. Or I can hit the v to see it again.

Yeah, they're awful. I think it might be the anchor ads in google auto ads. It can be tweaked to disable those ad spots.
Auto ads in general is a mess and in my experience insert very intrusive ad slots.
Disable anchor ads at the top of your page - Google AdSense Help
Modify your ad code so anchor ads only appear at the bottom of a page #disableanchorads You can prevent anchor ads

If you are having issues with ads on your cell phone.
I recommend using an app called AdAway.
It will work with or without root. Using it without root will use the VPN method.
Edit, this app is for Android devices. I do not know about Crapples.

I'm using Brave browser and get no ads but I thought it's because I'm a monthly contributor ==>> IP Cam Talk Donations

I just tried Brave. It removed all of the ads on the page. Good to know.

They are on 15.3, also. Google found a way to skirt the blockers again.
