Lately, when I access accuweather.com, I get a popup on every page asking me to allow ads on accuweather. When I click the box to allow ads, it asks me to click the adblock plus icon - but I don't HAVE that icon. I don't have an adblocker installed. So, every page of accuweather repeatedly show this popup. How do I solve this? It doesn't happen in Safari.

Hello Lindainati,

Websites may think that you're using an adblocker when you have turned on Tracking Protection, in which case you will have to turn it off.
