Redirected to YouTube a lot


Recommended Posts

That does seem strange, but why are you going to neowin.com in the first place? That is not the correct address.

Have you tried just going direct to Neowin.net? My air 2 using Chrome doesn't redirect to YouTube at any point, but then I go direct to .net.

I've had this happen too, but only on Chrome on my iPad Air (v1). No other browser or device does this, to me.

I know the reasoning of why it happens and how to stop it - at least this is what i figured out.

You need to let the entire page load before touching anything. If you try to scroll or touch text before loading is complete, it will open up that youtube link.

[Edit] If you disable the YouTube option under Chrome ([3 dot menu] > Settings > Google Apps > disable youtube

It won't popup anymore :)

Reported. since I'm signed into Chrome/GMail and already subscribed, I wonder if it is an implementation issue for people who aren't signed into GMail/YouTube? :s

 

We have that option in the social media dropdown.

This happens to me constantly, by the way. On my iPhone Plus using Chrome... Exactly as you've said. It makes me crazy. I hate to be forced to turn off the YouTube setting because I like that option on other sites... As the other user mentioned, Safari doesn't do this. Ah well.

Thanks all. 

 

I appreciate that we also have responses from the site founder & mods, as well.  The redirect is still happening on the iPad Air 2, but I know better than to expect a fast fix. Any news from the devs who are looking for the solution?

 

Thank you.
