Yeah but who put the malware there? Bad dudes or disgruntled imgur nerds?
thefoxthatrox
That would explain why having the app open often crashes my phone's OS to the point of having to force restart.
Lightnyn
Thank you for this! I'm going to comment with this picture on every ad I see on here.
SpadesNeil
If they stopped doing this, I would not have Adblock on this site. Imgur was the reason I got Adblock.
Kuvajainen
I'd rather just pay for the app than have ads like that, honestly.
fisklukt
Classic Imgur.
StevenSeagull
Imgur app stays open even if I close it on Android. Have to force stop it from settings every time. Deleted.
Chandraven
The app literally freezes my phone from ads. It's a newer phone too. They are shady as fuck. Imgur needs to at least filter who advertises.
Phischstaebchen
Yeah, I sent them a mail, no response. Mostly they try to act like a company, but for that they should respond to security-inqueries
GameOfLiesAndDeath
Yes @OP. Most viral. Ironic, amirite?
Doctadeth
hehehe.
Lightnyn
Has anyone else noticed if you post anything at all critical on an ad post you get immediately downvoted like crazy. It's fucked up we can't
Lightnyn
Even see the downvotes those posts have. Paying to get to the frontpage makes imgur pay to win
yaddieboo
was having issues with ublock, kept crashing. Remove it for a day, randomly went on imgur and get sketchy ads that try to make me dl flash
ProxyPlayerHD
[Laughs in Masterrace] what even is an ad?
Mumalot
malware...literally the only reason i use adblockers. I used to be against adblockers until a friend mentioned malware+othershitthatharmsCPU
ShadowScorch
aviationeast
You know at least on Android they use Google for the ads... Report the ads to google.
StopstalkingmePawan
How does one figure out if there is already malware on your device due to imgur? And get it removed?
whatbuttondoipush
Reporting bad ads is like pulling teeth too. Had a popup ad for play store and tried for 20 minutes to figure out how to report it
whatbuttondoipush
I can report a lady showing ankle amd get the post taken down even if it's marked mature(welcome to Iran?) In 2 clicks though

Imgurs the new Limewire
ThomasCornett10
Imgur, I understand why you need sds but you need to do a better job at monitoring them and reviewing them. Please improve
Potatoid
They should perhaps create a monthly subscription or something. For those who don't want to see the ads. Servers cost money man.
ThePastmaster
They did that. Sort of. Pay a small amount and never see ads again I had 3 years of ad free imgur without adblock before they broke the deal
TShooter59
The adblock companies sell the data related to the sites that were blocked. No free rides...
gibberishDude
Exploit me anyway, okay, at least they don't do it in an annoying way.
IndustrialGradePartyPooper
Adblock is malware protection. If a site asks you to turn it off, tell them to go fuck themselves.

Download blokada for Android say good buy to ad's
RuffRuggedandReal
It is great, thanks for recommending it. I don't suppose you have any apps like Terrarium or CartoonHD to recommend as well?
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
I've posted this so many times. Glad you know and spread the good word!
EnigmaV8
(Downloads Blokada for Android on iPhone) Hey guys it didn’t work!
IAmDuckHammer
Thanks for the tip. Just installed it and the app runs smooth as fresh butter on warm toast.
LoneStarALT
just got it, thank you good sir
DeepMemeConversations
Just installed ot
duelwieldingaspatulaandaswiffer
FalafelisImportant
Just installed it. Now scrolling through imgur is smooth as butter
TheBlueMuppet
Yeah, now welcome to the world of the DNS servers that block ads being way slower than regular.
sgbench
Maybe this is why my phone starts burning up whenever I use the app
pyr0chaos
You might be the victim of a lil coin mining my dude
TVdude
So im not the only one then...
kojenk
No thats the amount of trackers they have. I use Blockada and it wiped out that issue.
BurntToast127
I swear I must be the only one who doesnt have this issue. Like, my phone has never gotten even slightly warmer using the app.
hechicera84
Same.
kennedyr890
Do you have a case on your phone?
BurntToast127
Yes. Covers everything but the screen. Hard plastic with some soft rubber. Not otter box or similar.
landofahz
Do you ever have the app crash, or just close and reopen to the homepage for no reason? 'Cause that's my problem. Super battery drain, too.
BurntToast127
Yes to crash/freezing. Ehh on battery. I mean, it uses less than games.
hechicera84
Nope.
Schwerlin
Even better, the day they turned off the ads, not only was app buttery smooth, my phone didn't catch on fire. I'm sure they're coin mining.
PhantomGeek
I keep sending emails to their "tech support" and they say "issue documented, fix underway" and give ya a fraggin meme for your time @Martyn
RacecarRoadcar
When is the next major video game release? I'd like another ad free day.
Ketheres
Smash Bros should be soon, but Nintendo probably won't fund an ad free day
Metalhead47
Adblock, people! Dump their stupid app and adblock yo shit! Denying them that revenue is the only that that MIGHT get thru.
MFCountDookins
Yeap plenty non root adblockers on mobi. Make sure your adnlockers on tho..yuk yuk
RobinYiff
Or, use lucky patcher and remove all the ads from the app itself.
JHawke
Ironically on this post (but it seems to variate slightly the past week) moatads has been dumped for me :')
IMayNotReplyToYou
How? Apk? Or from playstore?
Alfa799
Blokada.org
Cakesmith
Honest question, they can't provide this service for free, how do you purpose they fund it?
Metalhead47
I would HAPPILY go back to the days of $20 a year. Even $30. I might even tolerate WELL REGULATED, legit ads. But this shit they do now...
gibberishDude
On top of everything else - reduce bloated business. It worked perfect 5 years ago. Why do we need all the added crap noone asked for??
shorey66
Blokada people. Blocks everything on device. Makes the imgur app usable and not a battery drain.
juijksilver1991
What do you got for an iPhone
shorey66
Um sorry dunno. On older Samsung for you to use?
exactmat
Money well wasted
Doctadeth
Host shouldn't be running questionable ads in the first place.
cbale2000
I've just assumed basically every ad on the internet could have malware on it for like 15 years now. None of this surprises me.
manulofdoom
Hosts run malware because it pays good. Users block ads. Host notices recreased revenue, runs even more malware.
fingerthattangydonut
kojenk
Blokada on phones works wonders
shorey66
Yep using it right now. First time I fired up the imgur app with it on it blocked 4 trackers before I'd tapped the first image.
manulofdoom
I doubt that. They see ads are being clicked less, they make the ads even more annoying and malware-like. Ad people are unable to think.
elfoe
Thats not how ad services work. Imgur doesn't pick what ads we see, that's a third party
manulofdoom
Yes, that's how that third party works.
FlatPlutoSociety
Right, but Imgur does choose how and where on the page ads are displayed. If impressions/clicks go down, saturation will likely go up.
Ansatsunin
Not if they have half a brain. That'll only lead to more people blocking the ads or stopping using Imgur, as they become more repellant.
fingerthattangydonut
If they had half a brain they would of cut the bullshit long ago. Instead, more ads with each "update"
bunny808
Wants you to use their app....app doesn't work
LesbianAndroid
Every now and then the app will crash before I finish reading an interesting post and it's gone forever
elfoe
*forces you to use their app
kevinallover
Been using mobile web for a month. It's a bit crippled, but it gets the job done without overheating my phone.
sakela
Uses app, 10% battery gone in 3 minutes wtf
XethorWasAlreadyTaken
older versions are worse, the last few updates fixed most of the issues
edwardelricsnipples
Wants you to use the unusable app, so they gut the mobile site
BigJewishHulk
Opengur is so much better. No ads, gifs and videos don't autoplay, doesn't drain your battery in the background
pc404
I should just make my own imgur app, no ads. I'm sure I can get imgurs old source code.
amyrose
With blackjack! And hookers!
AlwaysSomethingHorrible
For fucking real though. I tired of this app making my phone the core of the sun, then resetting back to the beginning of the FP.
Eldis
Use FF with uBlock Origin and "Request Desktop Site". Works like a charm.
AlwaysSomethingHorrible
True, but that's still no excuse for poor optimization.
Eldis
Of course not, but the purpose of the app is not a perfect user experience but data (and perhaps crypto) mining with some add revenue.
RobinYiff
Get "Lucky Patcher" and kill all the advertisers in the app itself!
porkjungle
Fucking love lucky patcher
sakela
How do you get lucky patcher
RobinYiff
Just google it and go to the official page.
djkriz123
Uninstall and install an older version. Never updating again
rbudrick
I did this with one two years old and that app still crashed just as much. Use opengur.
SpecialOedipus
I got ios 10.0 still ?
CardboardStomach
I did that for a while. Finally uninstalled all version of the app when I realized imgur was using massive amounts of data in the background
goosebusters
Did the same. My battery last a lot longer, but I can no longer cook pancakes on my phone
jakeobsen
You're cooking pancakes wrong.
Sfinski
Doesn't matter, got pancakes.
InsertSomethingProfoundHere
Upvoted, although that’s worked well on my Android I haven’t found a way to do the same on an iphone.
Reskabot
Get a better phone then install an older version.
WhoAreYouAndWhatDidYouDoToMyPotato
I mean, if you like Android better that’s fine... But the only thing that killed my 6 yo iPhone 5 was being run over by a semi. I could(1/2)
WhoAreYouAndWhatDidYouDoToMyPotato
(2/2) still plug it in and save all of my data afterwards because of the sturdy frame. Android is fine. I personally prefer iPhone.
