What's up with these adverts, it's pretty embarassing when I'm browsing neowin and family members, including younger siblings, see a half naked man looking down at his crotch or images of girls being shocked by what vimax can do to crotch sizes.

Are these adverts going to be a permanent solution to neowin ad revenue or is it a one off?

Whoa! dude easy now. There's only one reason I think that you're defending it. Anyway mate the site is becoming like those you find on the torrent sites, where you'd expect stuff like this and wouldn't mind it at all. But since this is a tech site I would assume most of the advertiser would target selling tech stuff and not pharmaceuticals.

easy ? I wasn't attacking or anything, I was merely asking a question and trying to tell you that perhaps it's not nearly as "embarrassing" as you think it is.

oh and what would that "reason" be ? please entertain me.

And they're also not nearly as bad as what you get on torrent sites and the like as you call them. and as I said, they're just ads. you see worse ads out on the streets and in shop windows every day. Not to mention tv.

OK let's just put the attacking to side and have a civilised discussion.

One of my PC's is in the family room, and when I'm browsing neowin and the room's full of family members I'd find it awkward explaing to them why and what's on the screen. I think it's more of a cultural thing then anything else.

It's likely a regional thing as I haven't seen those ads.

Please take a screenshot and PM it to a Supervisor and then we'll decide whether or not to take it up with our advertising provider.

Generally, we are only interested in PG13-style ads that do not contain pop-out-flash-type ads.

If you see disruptive or inappropriate ads on the site, please screenshot them and contact an admin/editor/super/dev and we'll make sure it's taken care of. We out-source our ad provider, and we're in constant contact with them in terms of what we want and don't want.

Penis enlargement ads are not something we want. If anything, it reduces our revenues because we all know no one around here would need anything like that! :laugh:

[scream painting]omg my widoze has the spywares[/scream painting]

Unfortunately my Windows Seven installation has caught spyware, this spyware changes the users' DNS server to block sites, such as popular antivirus site and msn.com, and also redirect ads to display the vimax ad.

First time ever I have let spyware in, but then again I was arrogant and didn't install any antivirus or anti malware software (apart from windows defender(how good was that)).

Running antivirus and antimalware as I type this message..

If you guys aren't seeing it maybe I have spyware or of somesort.

While that is a possibility, what I was getting at was that they may have paid Google (or whomever does our front page ads) to get spots for U.K. customers only. Sometimes offending ads affect only one region of the world. We've had other spots that were Australia-only.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
