about://(null) pop-up

Not sure if this helps or not but this is about the message about: about://null Im here sears

Here is what I know or think is happening:

If it is appearing over and over then it is stuck in a loop... what they should of done on coding is if a certain line of code could not execute then escape that sequence and go to the next sequence of code... instead they have it returning a value on a failed attempt and the message you are getting is their coded response... once the code reaches an error it returns a sort of false type related statement.. they have a false type statement return as a message which you are seeing... good thing to do for debugging but needs to be taken out for the production release lol

i have been looking into this exact thing and from what i have found is, it looks like some bad code within a website or app / AD popup. It reminds me of/and looks like a debug and testing error message that is often put into a program to help programmers debug their software. i could be wrong though. im looking into it further.

If anyone else has a question or knows of anyone that has a question about any error messages or coding issues please pass along my name. As always, if you ever have any other tech needs as well, I'm here. As a tech repair "Guru" I'm here to help! I love this stuff lol

do you have a free game on there? quite often the price of those free games is ads. And the only way to get rid of them is to get rid of the game or go for the paid version.

According to another thread it's not an app induced ad but something else. It was suggested that you reset your device, hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that stops it. It's going to get reported further up to see what it is.

I have encountered this problem too and just "chatted " with Nicole at Apple Support. I'm told this is an app problem, in this case Chrome. Apple disavows responsibility and claims that the app is Chrome's responsibility. Sounds like the days of relying on Apple to address security issues is over. The premium we pay for Apple products entitles us to better service.
