butcherbird Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 in Chrome on an IPad Air 2, when I open a new tab and go to neowin.com (redirects to neowin.net), the site often redirects me again to this URL: https://www.youtube.com/subscribe_embed?usegapi=1&channel=Neowin&layout=default&count=default&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.neowin.net&gsrc=3p&ic=1&jsh=m%3B%2F_%2Fscs%2Fapps-static%2F_%2Fjs%2Fk%3Doz.gapi.en.RArmLpCIYB0.O%2Fm%3D__features__%2Fam%3DQQ%2Frt%3Dj%2Fd%3D1%2Ft%3Dzcms%2Frs%3DAGLTcCOEiG2RgKkKDvOG7y5PZ-fMFMsJXQ&huid=_PIW5jVzfWWPlPphlOfwkQ&noapp=1#_methods=onPlusOne%2C_ready%2C_close%2C_open%2C_resizeMe%2C_renderstart%2Concircled%2Cdrefresh%2Cerefresh%2Conload&id=I1_1436022557931&parent=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.neowin.net&pfname=&rpctoken=19379892 Why? It is very annoying, and I hope the issue can be fixed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 That does seem strange, but why are you going to neowin.com in the first place? That is not the correct address. MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted July 4, 2015 Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted July 4, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've had this happen too, but only on Chrome on my iPad Air (v1). No other browser or device does this, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted July 4, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2015 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? We have that option in the social media dropdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisking Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 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.

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.
