@SharkE, On most devices, blocking popups in your browser settings and also installing adblocking browser addon/extensions will eliminate that sweepstakes notice. Doesn't always work, but it's worth setting up to at least avoid the majority of unwanted popups.

@dooBdoo"Doesn't always work"

Does for me. I've never seen one and/or pop ups. I gather it depends on if your browser Preferences are set up properly as well as the kind of 3rd party ad blocker back up you get.

I have Ad Block Plus as a back up for all 3 of my browsers.

@Mz iMac, I mention that because for some devices, software versions, etc., even the settings or addons/extensions don't block everything, so I wanted posters to be aware it's not always foolproof. My Mac blocks everything, with all browsers -- but my iPads and iPhone, for example, allow some popups to sneak through using Safari.

@SharkE @I agree with you on that. I also agree with others to stop having the “video” of an item appear first on the page. It takes longer to upload (depending on device) and most times I just want to get a “look” at the item and not watch a video.
