Problem with Yahoo News. Has anyone encountered this site taking over in Yahoo?
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, iOS 11.0.2
I no longer have a Yahoo account so can't test this problem. But there have been numerous posts on the support forums by users experiencing these pop-ups. The only way to get rid of them is to quit Safari, then delete all history and data. Finally avoid visiting those websites again.
To quit Safari double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will display a sample page. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Next use Settings to delete Safari History and Data
Settings > Scroll down to Safari > Scroll down and click on "Clear History and Website Data"
Finally avoid the offending website. If you depend on Yahoo for news etc. perhaps it's time to find an alternate source for that information until the problem is corrected.

Thank you Ralph. I have done this and still am not sure if this is specifically on the yahoo site or a problem in my iPad. The problem does not occur on my MacBook or my iPhone. I hate to give up Yahoo. I have enjoyed some of the articles and access to information.
deleted (didn't realize the problem was on an iPad)
