Anyone else notice how bad FoxNews APP and website have become with pop up ads during the past week or so? I can't view stories because my computer freezes, and I deleted the APP on my iPhone because the ads steal the screen completely...
No, because we don’t give Fox clicks.
Why would you even go there? They are the ENEMY
They are now for sure.
I quit watching anything on any FOX channel when they fired Tucker. If they are having trouble...GOOD. I would be ashamed beyond description if I watched them. F-F.
Yes it is fairly bad
Yes. I have noticed it. The trend has gotten worse over the last year. New York Post is now the same way.
I can barely leave comments on either page, without my keystrokes being knocked away by pop up ads. I already have AdBlock, but several ads get through anyway.
No, I have not noticed because I will not tune in to FAUX News and I have never had their app.
I am finding more and more media sites who block me unless I agree to unblock my ad blocker. So I have become one less clicker of their website.
Delete the APP and stop patronizing them.
Not just Fox. EVERY web site in 2023 is inundated with pop ups, clutter, crap, freezes, slow loads, etc. My ad blockers have increasingly been neutralized and don’t do much of anything.
The only thing that works for me is the “Reader” view in Safari and Brave. The Reader view often fails — stalls or pages only partially load.
That and the last uncluttered, non commercial site on the web — FreeRepublic.
Time to donate again!
As a general rule I try to avoid the websites of any Rupert Murdoch media outlets. They tend to be a confusing display of cheap content and advertising slop. The NY Post website, for example, seems to drain IQ points from its readers by the minute.
“Delete the APP and stop patronizing them.”
I deleted APP a week ago and as of today I will no longer visit the FoxNews website.
Congrats :)

https://jackcatdaily.com is another
Download and install AdblockPlus, Adblock, and/or uBlock. They also have an app for Android phones, but I am not sure about iPhone. They block 95% of ads on my PC and phone.
I haven’t patronized Fox since last spring. And at that time all I watched was Tucker. One, there really isn’t any such thing as a news program there. The entire thing is nothing but panel talk shows, and celebrity hit shows. But there isn’t anything resembling a news program on it that I am aware of. Two, the only reason for watching Fox News anymore is to get the point of view of the establishment wing of the republican party, and just take the temperature of where they are.
Dear Facebook
already did that too
Yes, though it is pretty much the same with LOTS of news sites. I like the content of Just the News, but their ads constantly bleed (and re bleed) over their content. If you’re on a tablet or iPad, it takes a surgeon’s eye and nerves of steel to hit the “x” to kill the ad, …usually the stupid ad just takes over the whole screen.
