[update] I try blocking it but this tricky little ad makes a new random domain. Whoever is making this ad is no robot and likely an actual human hacker.

[Original post] As anyone else seen this huge ad on your screen, it takes you away to another site that isn't on vizzed and tells you about an "Urgent update to chrome". this rarely happens but now it has increased with it being more random than before.

also for some people who do not know chrome, google will never interrupt your website for an update. the browser auto-updates on the background when the user is inactive.

I'm having the same issue with Firefox. Wouldn't be surprised if other browsers had the same problem

It's all part of the ads David is adding to help keep the site afloat, and I agree with the statement that it's getting a little too much. Ads to keep the site running is one thing and totally fine, but ads that may end up harming an oblivious user kinda need to be regulated.

Same here,Johnny. I think it is unnecessary and quite frankly a pain. Someone will wind up downloading that garbage.

The ads have gotten even worse, this time it's using the whole "Cover up the screen with an invisible ad and people will click on it." I have to use my adblock for it because its too much.

Davideo7 : this has gotten serious
