Intrusive Mobile Ads

August 23, 2016 at 5:32 PM

INTRUSIVE MOBILE ADS - We've received and have been able to confirm the reports of intrusive mobile ads from Egg Cave that appear to be redirecting users to other spammy links. We're really sorry about this.

Rest assured that Egg Cave itself and your data is not "infected" with any sort of virus. We're just trying to find, delete, and remove this collection of extremely pesky advertisers that we did not approve. Desktop and non-mobile browsers seem to be unaffected.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We're working as fast as we can to get rid of these pesky ads.

No. No. No. Just no.


If any of our more technically-inclined Android users know how to View Source from their Android device and then copy and paste the respective JS tags from eggcave.com to us, that would be very helpful! Please submit this via the contact page.
