How do I stop popup ads and apps that redirect to app store automatically on safari on ipad air?

In my experience things like appfly replace all links on a webpage (I.e. A next page button or homepage hyperlink) with an advert redirect.

From what I can tell this is being done through JavaScript so going Settings > Safari > advanced settings > then setting java to off will prevent these redirects from embedding themselves into the site you're browsing.

Apple won't.

I use an app, Weblock

It uses a proxy server to block ads, so you do need to set it up for each internet connection you're on, but it does block ads, even ads within apps.

the other alternative would be to look into and try a different browser to see if they offer you better control.

I have the same problem. I read on another forum where a user apparently found out that the problem was caused by his router being hacked. So I changed the SSID, I even set it to non-broadcast, and the password of my router. The problem was resolved immediately....for about a week. @#$%&!

I went through this process 2 more times with the same result. OK for about a week then the redirects return. It's almost like whatever is doing it has a hacking program imbedded in specific web sites OR SAFARI that takes about a week to decode the new SSID and Passwords. This problem only occurs from one particular Korean Drama video streaming web site. The problem has not popped up on other similar sites streaming the same shows.

I am now using Chrome instead of Safari...and so far so good! But, this is only a work-around. Someone please find the root-cause and fix it!

On apple Device.

Goto settings/Safari

Turn on Block Pop-ups

Block Cookies/ From third parties and advertisers.

Goto Settings/General/Restrictions.

Passcode will be 0000 if you have not set one.

Goto Websites/Limit Adult Content

Bottom of screen add these links to block them.

This will stop most of the redirecting, as soon as one site is blocked by too many people they use another one.

weblock is th best app for all this

Thank you so much, following your advise I downloaded a free ad blocker called lion. It works perfectly now.. phewwww

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful! I had been constant redirected to a bogus award site that made me close the tab to get away. I was going mad.
