I sometimes see the wrinkle cream adverts and the millionth visitor when I visit some sites. I don't stay long and give them more clickbait!

I only use iPad for banking and reading paper, and it pops up when reading the paper ?
Could be daily mails fault, nowt but ads.
Wife uses it for surfing, and candy crush,but uses google browser.
Methinks therein lies the answer.;)

Daily Mail app or browser?

Joe your not alone I have the same popping up on my iPad. I get it on Google Chrome , Safari and Firefox. I know use Chrome incognito tab and no pop ups with the congratulations u have a chance to win a iPhone.
My iPad is a iPad 4 so doesn't get any updates any more which I think is the problem.
Forgot to mention my friend has iPad 2 the smaller iPads and she gets the same pop ups.

On firefox and chrome browsers for PC you should be able to install ublock origin. Chrome also has a built in adblocker feature possibly not as good as ublock, but better than nothing. Fairly sure these feature could be on apple supported devices too

Trouble is my iPad is not being updated now so any Add Blockers are not being updated.

iPads, if not jailbroken, are practically immune to malware. I!!!8217;m wondering if this could be DNS hijacking due to poor router security. But also, check that the DNS setting on your iPads settings > wifi connection is standard, 8.8.8.8 is a safe one. And check that no VPNs are installed in the iPad (an extra icon would pop up next to the wifi icon top left of screen).

I am unsure what you mean? Chrome, safari or firefox have their own plugins, which in themselves have their own extensions. These extensions download the latest block filters and are not operating system dependent. Are you saying the Apple store no longer stock and supporth this model, or newer browsers?

Don't know if it's any help to you but whenever I have read the Manchester evening news website with my phone (android) I get this pop up too. Never at any other point, I decided long ago it was something to do with their site so don't use it anymore.
