Amazon winner pop ups on my iPhone

You clearly haven't read much of the thread you posted to. It explains what the cause is, and how to fix it. And it is NOT an Apple problem. It can happen using any web browser on any computing device that has one. No one has "jacked" a phone.

I took the time to read 12 pages out of 28 of this thread and everyone is saying nothing really works so don’t try to caps argue unless you can just tell me exactly what to do to fix it.

I’m not dealing with ****** looking websites by turning off java. This is an Apple problem that they need to fix.

You’re probably right. There are sites that I visit very often and they never redirect me to these Congratulations Amazon users popup. I just thought maybe it was because I visit cnn and msn and sports illustrated so much I didn’t realize they were really the culprits.

I’ll try the ad blocker ad. I do have a question since you seemed to know what you’re talking about. Why is it that I’ve not seen the same ad on my wife’s iPhone even though we both visited msn si and cnn so much? My wife’s phone never got hit with the ad, not even once. Did these malicious sites do something to my iPhone? Is that also the reason why I’m getting redirected and she’s not?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. This happens at 1 out of every three website I visit. I have deleted my history and data, I have updated my operating system and restarted my device. The pop ups continue

So be it. I know EXACTLY what I am talking about. But I don't care whether you believe me or not. If you don't what to resolve the problem using the tips posted in this thread, then just suffer with it.

Lawrence you’ve given more than enough help. The answers are there for anyone who can read the last couple pages of this thread. If they enjoy the experience of seeing these ads and just want to rant, let them have fun.

I got a popup on Firefox a couple of weeks ago. It was much harder to clear than Safari, because Firefox became totally non-responsive. And there's a post above yours about encountering it in Chrome. It has also been reported on Android phones, Windows and Mac computers.

Your suggestions are not responsive.

I know I can select one web site at a time, which requires a swipe and a confirmation for each one, but with no useful information to decide which to remove..

With the proliferation of domains tracking everything, clearing out 1000s of domains would take hours. Increasing transparency by allowing you to sort by date visited or expiration date would help. Internet explorer can do that. Surely Apple’s engineers are better than Microsoft.

I am not a Mac developer nor are most people with this issue. I should not have to buy a car repair garage to check my oil level.

You said; "More transparency in the browser for advanced users (like view source code) would help, as well as providing a way to remove website site data more efficiently than all or none. "

I poste a way to do that, and you called it "non-responsive." There is no point in responding to you again, as you would clearly consider nothing that I (or anyone else) would find "responsive".

Dozens of people reading this thread and others on the same subject have successfully fixed the problem, easily, for the most part. If you are unwilling to take their advice I leave you to your own devices.

Weird, I can’t get CSS animations to work on IE9.

Not sure where you're running that, other than it would have to be Windows since the last Mac version of IE was ages ago.

But, IE 9 is itself older than dirt. The last release of IE was version 11. And now even that is fairly old since Edge replaced IE in Windows 10.

Basically, it's the same issue any old version of a browser has. It's too old to understand Internet "standards" that have changed or appeared since that version's release. You'll have to upgrade your browser. Not knowing how old your version of Windows is, I can't say what the newest browser is it will run.

More and more web sites actively block visitors using ad blockers. Just like the advice to turn JavaScript off, Apple’s decision to put the browser settings inside the global settings app rather than inside the browser was a design choice by Apple that makes ad blockers a clumsy solution. Longer term, if people are all using ad blockers, producers of high quality free content will cease to exist.

This happens to me ALL the time! As well as the “this webpage is being reloaded” garbage. I’m so over it. I even bought a new iPhone 8 thinking if I ditched my phone it would stop. I spent over 2 hours on the phone today with Apple and basically sent my phone back into the ages by resetting the phone and has to redo all of my settings etc. total pain. And t JUST happened again. I definitely think there is malware on the iPhone. I don’t care what they say.

Tried everything found on these sites nothing works , need answers from Apple , been a Apple loyal person since first iPhone using the X and this needs to stop , it’s not the sites , don’t need to hear that anymore . Has happened to me on almost every site ! We need answers Apple

If third parties can solve this issue, why can’t Apple?

Why waste the development time on something that's already been done?

Why don't Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc. have their own ad blocking? Same reason.

I don’t want third parties with dubious motives selling my entire viewing history because I use their ad blocker.

So, you just make up things about apps you don't want to use? Prove the ad blocker you're interested in does that.

If you use Chrome, Google Earth or any other app made by Google, you're already freely giving up a lot more information than that without your knowledge.

I guess the real takeaway from such a statement is; where do people get the idea that if the software isn't directly from Apple, it's automatically malicious, sneaky, etc.? Guess I'd better delete all of these "bad" apps from my Mac, despite the fact I have no other way to get my work done with anything made by Apple.

Apple is sitting on ether a huge problem or a huge profit.

And yet more completely made up, conspiracy nonsense.

Apple has no more of a problem with web ads than any other device or browser does.

Apple makes nothing on the ads a site shows. The owner of the site, and the company generating the ads do. The ad company collects money from each advertiser to run their ads. The web site who agrees to allow the ad company to run ads on their site gets paid by ad the company to put the ads there.
