Caravan Monster 323 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 uBlock Origin also very good. Believe it works on the majority of popular browsers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 19,573 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I've found photobucket totally unusable trying to get on through there Web site because of the pop ups... I just use the photobucket app now but that's with android... Sorry can't help more than that but at least you know your not the only one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
