True. But the only people who have complained so far have been android users. I did consider the possibility that iPhone users were simply less likely to complain.

It's not really an Android issue - an iPhone with Chrome and permissions set a certain way will likely eventually get it as well. It's a malfeasant ad service.

On your Android phone or tablet, go to Settings and then Apps.

If you have an app named Network, (may have a symbol that looks like three green bars next to it), go ahead and delete it.

Try this out of curiosity....turn off javascript in your browser.

It'd be in the Content Settings tab in the Advanced list of the Chrome settings.

Try that and report back.

It seems to only be happening with Firefox (which was used to install Candy Crush). Firefox does not seem to have an option to turn off javascript. It does not seem to do it with Chrome. Okay, so use Chrome is an option. I would like to get the problem fixed if anyone has any other ideas.

No problem with chrome so far. I just don't like chrome.

All of a sudden my Droid HTC stopped getting redirected. Here's hoping it stays that way.

It seems to happened off and on, but more often it's redirecting me and is a pain in the ass.

Is "Network" the same as "Network Location", because I have that listed in my apps and I'm also getting the redirect.
