    Drew - I started getting this ad after I stopped at a McDonalds for the first time in years. Maybe you just don't go to McDonalds, or one with the self order kiosk that probably has a wy to broadcast this horrible popup onto a phone that syncs to your computer. One thing I will never do again is actually visit a McDonalds, and if, after I switch to Chrome, it doesn't reappear, I will abandon Edge forever as well. None of your suggested "fixes" work, and if you have never had this annoying pop-up occur, you can't be aware of how even more frustrating it is to follow your suggestions that don't work.

    OMG, obviously the idiots at McDonald's took it that you were referring to some issues in or with their own web site; NOT their ads popping up in various browsers for some Users on some computers. Nor does the useless response relate to the question or issue, actually, raised.

    And, equally, obviously, when this is showing up in various browsers, the cause and problem is rooted with McD's, not those browsers and not Microsoft or Windows.

    Good someone (you) tried, certainly, not good their dumb misunderstanding nor the dumb reply from them.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Below is the reply I received to what I thought was a polite, yet direct message....

    "Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's regarding our website, www.mcdonalds.com. We always appreciate hearing from our customers.

    We apologize that the information you found posted on McDonald's website was incomplete or incorrect. Please know your comments have been shared with our Web Development Team. I am certain they will further investigate and take corrective action.

    Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's."

    Their response does not leave me with confidence that they give two hoots of concern over the issue.

    Good suggestion. I did that a few days ago, here is the message I sent on the McDonalds website site, using contact us......

    Surprisingly this does not have to do with any visit to a McDonalds location, but rather with the intrusive full-page advertisements that are popping up on different web browsers when visiting websites. This has caused enough consternation that the issue is now generating its own topic in forums on how to solve this 'problem'. Please review these full-page ad popups and find a better way to display advertising, as this may be having the wrong effect and creating a negative view of the overall McDonalds brand!

    Maybe people who are seeing this should contact McDonald's. Hey, just a thought... 😏

    Cheers,
