Hello,
Sometimes when I'm browsing internet and go to popular websites (I mean very popular and big websites with news etc), I'm instantly redirecting to site ads.mobvertising.net and then to other page with ads (music, software, games etc). I know how to deal with it (clear cookies), but what is cause of this?
YouTube video shows how it works.
I have iPhone 5S, Safari, all updates

This is happening because of bad ads or an infected ad server feeding sites that you visit. These ads are designed to randomly redirect mobile device users to other sites. It has nothing to do with your iPhone/iPad. The random nature of the re-directs is intended to confuse the user and keep this garbage below the radar.
Turning OFF Javascript bypasses this problem because the mechanism implementing the redirects uses Javascript. This is not really a solution, however, because turning Off Javascript affects all sites and will certainly cause problems.
Choosing Clear History and Website Data in Settings > Safari clears the bad JavaScript from your iPhone/iPad.
Complain to the infected websites to get these ads removed.
Is it possible, that problem occurs because of Google Adsense that are visible for users? I don't think that those websites are infected (but can't be 100% sure, tho). It's happening only on mobile devices.
