Ok lets not go through this whole "I don't get them" or "I get them on FF" stuff again. The popups more then likely are coming from a certain banner advertisement. Not everyone gets this advertisement everytime they go to neowin. They may never get the advertisement depending on how the add scheme is set up.

I posted just to notify the mods, admins, and coderators (can't leave them out). Not to start a discussion about who gets them and who doesn't and also with what browser they use.

You have gator on your "spyware ridden computer".  Look for it.

Edit: Atleast thats where the portal is coming from.

The portal is coming from Gator but there is no trace of Gator on my computer. It is coming from a add on the page. This has happened before and the admins fixed it.

I posted this here to give the admins the info they needed to look into it. I am not complaing about it but would like them to know it is still happening.

Just in case it matters at this point, I also just got the popup from the very same blinking banner ad at the top. I'm not really upset or anything, because I know it's not Neowin's fault. I'm mostly saying it just in case anything is being done about it to say that it is still coming up once in a while. I got it twice in the last week. That is all.

I have got the same popup 3 times in the last 2 days. firefox blocked them, so I'm not worried about it. the ad wants you to claim a prize for being a "winner".

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
