hello. Cannot stop this popping up in Safari when visiting certain websites. I have deleted history and cache. I have deleted web data in advanced settings. Even erased all content and settings today. To no avail. This message keeps popping up - congratulation google user - google membership rewards. Think I will have to use Chrome browser instead.
iPad Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1
Try double clicking the Home button and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.
Safari - Clear the history and cookies on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Popup remover – Scam Zapper
If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
Thanks. Yes WiFi. Windows computers no problem though. Chrome browser no problem on the same IPad. Just Safari browser on IPad. The same happens with Safari on other Wifi connections. It only happens when visiting particular websites the main culprit being The Sun Newspaper a UK national news site.
Tried all those steps - just the same. There does not seem to be a cure! Now an Amazon prize - see attached
Thanks. I think I have tried most of the tips in the links. Not sure Scamzapper will work with an IPad? I think some of the instruction is for a Mac computer rather than IPad.
I did a reset. Still happens. The instructions are not clear for iPads, only iMacs.
How do you access the internet? If it's over WiFi connection, I suspect your wireless router has been compromised. It is redirecting traffic to those scam sites.
So you've narrowed down the problem to the device and/or particular websites. If your iPad is not jailbroken, the websites you visit are riddled with those annoying pop-up ads.
Congratulations google user!
