Refreshing advertisement deletes what I write before I am finished writing

iPhone with Safari
I should write in notes and then copy and paste into the realgm browser window.

Otherwise I run the strong risk of the refreshing advertisement destroying what I wrote before I submit it.

Another work around would be to submit after 2 sentences and then edit to add more sentences.

I had to download brave a few years ago just for real gm. I must say I've loved it since.

I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin add-on installed on my two computers and two Android phones and I've never had such an issue.

Had a brief chat in the Bulls Around the NBA thread regarding what a terrible experience the mobile site is. I browse plenty of websites on my Android phone while at work and realGM is significantly, by an order of magnitude, worse than any other site I browse for aggressive, full screen phishing ads. I have absolutely no interest in downloading another app simply for a web forum. I've never had a single issue with any other website while browsing from a mobile and have never considered a phone ad browser.

For eff's sake, porno sites aren't as intrusive as this forum's mobile version. Only an issue on my phone, so I have mostly avoided refreshing the site until I get home to my desktop. Shame. Shame.

Thanks. Never heard of Brave. Just downloaded it.
I hope it fixes the buggy realgm advertisements.

It looks like you have Tapatalk already though, you can just use RGM through that app.

I also highly recommend Brave. It is the best, or a minimum top-2, privacy browser.

I am typing this from my chrome browser. I've never used Tapatalk nor will I.

I will echo what others have mentioned -- I use the Brave browser on both my Android phone and my desktop. It eliminated most of the issues I had with RealGM ads and lagging.

I joked several years ago the site should be called Ad-GM. Try browsing it without an ad blocker and your CPU or vid card will go into overdrive running god knows what scripts (bitcoin mining?). Hope that ad revenue is worth it site admin......

For people using safari on iPhone, download Adblock pro from the App Store. It should block ads in safari, I’ve been using it for a while and have had no issues
