You have to sign into the forums, so they should know if you're an existing customer or not, but they still bombard us with the same ads. It gets a little tedious.

I have AdGuard on all except my Kindle.

I do not get any popups or ads.

It is free.

If we are going online and don't use a blocker, we should expect pop ups.  That's the way of it.

@MariotaMurielle,

@Spurt, and all,

I think I just did it!

I am using a chromebook so a lot of the suggestions (and thank you to those who supplied them trying to help did not apply. I just kept looking under settings and tried some things.

I went to settings,

privacy and security,

site settings,

added qvc.com to block ad/pop-up option,

added community.qvc.com,

and another wrote out itself as

qvc%20community.com so added that

then refresh the page to have new settings activated!

fingers crossed.

But you know the things we have to go through to manage this site is ridiculous isn't it! I like to try to figure things out but I'm not especially computer savy though I do like to keep trying on my own device.

I still can only be able to see pictures or the @ a person if I'm signed out, but can't when signed in. I seem to be the only one this affects. This has been going on for a few months. I've researched and tried everything. I never had this problem before a few months ago. I read that sometimes a new software from the business may not be compatible with mine so just another thing to have to accept if using this delightful website.

If nothing else this was a nice distraction being relentless and not thinking about other stuff, which I'm sure others can relate to.

Adblock Plus

A huge annoyance to say the least.

AdBlock will charge me $4 per month to block this.  Not interested in paying.

Will not come here as often and better yet not purchase much.

@gardenman 

Yep you're so right!!! 

[We rescue cats]

I see zero pop-up ads here or on any site that I visit. ZERO. But again, it's a decision each of us make. In addition I use Duck Duck GO on many sites.

@RespectLife 

But when you have Ad/popupblocker and you STILL get them then its irritating....

Something thats a little bit off the subject.....On You Tube its a violation to use an AD Blocker, but they have ads soliciting AD Blockers.... 😂

@Spurt,

Yes,

for all those saying use an adblocker, free or paid, they are not blocking the pop-ups for some.

It wasn't until I did what I posted a few posts ago that I got rid of them. while my adblocker did not prevent them.

So as much as some solutions work for some, they don't for everyone and that seems to be the norm on these QVC websites.

(And @Spurt, I've noticed the adblock ads in youtube also).

@on the bay 

Its annoying when companies find a way to work around the technology of AD/POPUP BLOCKERS, but dont give the same effort to find a way to not irritate their existing customers 🤔 

And it shows the hypocrisy of You Tube 😂 

[Spurt]

well it didnt work, still getting popups ☹
