is anyone else having a problem with this pop up,claiming you've won a prize? Can you block it..I have to close out the fresh loaf and start over every time the stupid thing comes up
Try a script blocker, after scanning your computer. I used one called NoScript, but it's not compatible with Firefox 57 so I'm waiting on an update. Also, if you're on mobile, I've found that they pop up no matter what. I don't know if there is a script blocker for mobile.
install it on my phone because of the app permissions it requires. Ridiculous levels of access to all segments of my phone, and I figure I'd rather just ignore the ads than give them carte blanche to data mine, hack my accounts, or whatever else they may be up to. Call me paranoid, but that's where I stand.
My computer on the other hand is a different matter. I have ABP, uBlock Origin, AND Adguard. Might seem like overkill, but when I just had ABP stuff was still getting through. With all three running I don't see any ads at all. And it's fascinating to watch the little counters tick off the number of ads they have blocked - they're not simultaneously concurrent as you might expect. One will go up, then the other, and so on. YouTube is nuts - after a couple hours of watching breadmaking videos, the counters will show numbers in the 900's. It's then I'm most glad I haven't been subjected to all those ads.
but I think I've seem it on my tablet as well. You can block the address, but they'll always come up with alternatives. Grr.

I've had a few of those pop-ups on Chrome, not specifically on TFL. Firefox doesn't get them.
On FF I used to get a pop-under at the bottom of the page, solved by using ABP, or, now, better, uBlock Origin.

works wonderfully. Without it, there are ads all over this site. Truly annoying.
