An ad called xfinity appears every time and when I want to click forums livepulse siteblog, or click exchange the ad either makes a new tab or if I hover to long the community list disappears

Well it think it might be the egg cave website itself. A lot a ads come up on this site all the time on my computer. Plus the ads ONLY come up on this site. But thats just what i think.

Could you possibly post a screen shot of this happening or a link to the ad itself? Also what browser are you using currently?

Or it might be that you have an advertising software or extension installed on either your browser or laptop, which usually enables loads of advertisements to display while browsing the internet. Does ads display on any other websites when you're using your Raspberry Pi?

You might have some type of ad-blocker enabled on your Raspberry Pi, maybe. The Xfinity ad is displaying for me right now actually. It seems to be stretching a bit, I'm about to send the link of it to @jazzyleia

Okay I have the link to it. I think you need chrome to view it but I'm not 100% Sure about that

I'm on Safari. The ad was stretching a little, but I wasn't having the problem you was having, so it was completely fine for me. Check your Google Chrome extensions to see if one of them might be causing the problem.



1. Navigate to your extensions (Chrome Menu Button > Settings > Extensions)
2. Disable (uncheck) every extension that you have installed.
3. Now, one by one, re-enable each extension, checking each time you re-enable one extension to see if the issue still occurs with that particular extension.
