Ad Causing a Problem on Chrome

[kolio]

I just started using Google Chrome on my home desktop for the first time. (Used to use Internet Explorer)

I keep getting a specific ad that cause a selected text box to become "un-selected"

What happens is that I will click a text box and start typing, the ad will refresh during this time and cause the browser to focus on the ad rather than my selected text box. Sometimes it will happen every 2 seconds, sometimes every tenth of a second and sometimes it takes 30 seconds for it to happen. Very odd and quite annoying.

I have no info on the ad besides the screenshot. The first screenshot is with the text box selected and the second shows that the add is refreshing and the text box is now "un-selected" forcing me to have to click on it again.

Oddly enough, I thought GTP had ghosts...

Simple solution: Just get premium so you don't have to see ads every time

@kolio, thanks for the heads up. These ads should be blocked now. It might take a few hours for the ads to be removed from rotation.

Cool, thanks! 👍

I had the problem of the text box constantly getting unselected, but I didn't know what was causing it. Thanks.

I've encountered the same ad provider on a different site with computers at my job. It's always a black box with the loading icon, but the ads never display. Very strange and annoying to look at.

I just ignore the ads, so I don't care, really .

Thanks @Turbo for noticing me btw

Not sure if this is significant or not, but the ads are still here. They do not cause a problem, but they are still here. (The ads don't bother me, just thought it was worth noting.)

@Jordan, the problem is back. I just noticed it happening again today.
