Browser Problems on iPhone and iPad
Latetly it seems like my iPhone and iPad browsers are possessed.
Pop ups open with BS "You've just won a .......", " answer a few questions and we'll send you gift card", "you've been selected for a .......". You can't close the pop up, so I end up having to kill the browser.
I'm also seeing the App Store open up without me wanting it to, and ending up on various game or app download pages. I close the App Store and it opens again.
It happens with both Safari and Firefox.
I've done the "Clear history and website data" numerous times. Reset all settings under "General/Reset" numerous times. It will stop for a while then start again.
This is so frustrating and I'm afraid I have very little patience for it. I thought this garbage wasn't supposed to happen with Apple products. This may not technically be a virus, or malware, but it sure as heck is just as disruptive and interferes with my enjoyment of the products.
How do I stop this?
