Might want to warn the troops.

I’m seeing this consistently on my iPad 2, don’t know about anything else.

My iPad only shows normal Google selected advertising. . . Odd.

I suspect you’ve gotten an ad with a script that will not let go. . . Adware on the ad. Quit Safari, delete the history, and it will go away when you restart Safari.

If all else fails, you might try to restore from a backup or a factory reset on the iPad.

Restore from backup: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

Factory reset: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
