May 2017

I was on an Android phone with chrome and was in the DU login screen last night. I must have accidentally tapped an ad. I got a popup ad that I could not get rid of. The back button was locked, could not close browser, etc. I clicked ok on the popup and was redirected to a web page which I was able to close before it fully loaded. I am rarely on DU with the phone.

A reputable advertiser should not do such things.
