Question about adchoices pop up’s
Sigforum isn’t afflicted with this crap. I look at scubaboard and others and the damn pop up’s are always there. Does anybody know how to kill them? Safari IOS on Iphone & IPad.

Adblock Plus. It's a free ad blocking browser extension, and it looks like they have a version available for Safari, though I'm not clear if it works on the mobile version of Safari or not.

I use Adblock Plus on Chrome, and it does a fantastic job of blocking annoying website ads, even blocking ads from playing during Youtube videos.

I have AdBlock plus and Crystal content blocker. The ad choices crap appears to the only thing immune

From what I’ve read, Chrome allows better control but Imreally don’t know enough to say

Check out this article. Apparently you can opt out of adchoices if they’re coming through google.

Tried that too. From the link:
"You should note that by opting-out, you do not necessarily block advertisements. It also does not prevent websites from tracking your browsing habits. And, in most cases, opting-out is not as effective as it should."

Swirching to Brave is good - I'll try that - Thanks
