    What leaves me gobsmacked here is, McD's continuing to point a finger at a browser's settings. OR at Users from not having those settings On, already. There latter being borderline insulting. It has been proven AND shown to McD's that some have this behaviour FROM McD's, in spite of those settings being "Blocked", ALREADYā—

    The caveat here is they had already been told this (your reply, below) initially in the (your) original communication to them about this. Ignored then and now, stillā—šŸ˜”

    If you're experiencing pop-up ads while using your browser, we recommend checking your browser settings to disable pop-ups and ads.We hope to have the opportunity of serving you again soon under the Golden Arches."

    To this, I emailed back my reply...."

    My Popup blocker is on and has been on*. About a month ago, Microsoft support was contacted and investigated, the determination was that it was* generated from McDonalds to advertise on supporting web sites.Ā 

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Received a McDonalds reply from a different person today....

    "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. Sincerely,"

    I truly believe they are the biggest group of idiots allowed on the internet!

    It is truly bizarre that they keep carrying on as if it is about THEIR web site; for them to go where no such thing was even implied. Obviously, they cannot read well enough to grasp it is, ACTUALLY, about THEIR ADS popping up in several browsers. Pathetic to see a major corp being dumb to this magnitude.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Hello Drew, Looks like you might think I criticized your help in response to the McHack that many people have responded to. I tried all the solutions mentioned, but it seems that like the (probable) AI responses from McDonalds, were BS. I finally just installed an extension I found online and it appeared to solve the problem. I don't like installing such extensions, but I was literally yelling at everyone in sight every time the thing popped up (usually 4 screens later). Thanks for sending me down the roads you knew about - I have stopped going to McDonald over this, and I tell everyone I know to avoid the place unless you leave all your devices wrapped in foil outside. Don't even drive through! Please let me know if you really want to know exactly which extension I allowed access, but I don't want to subject others to installing any extensions just in case I wind up swapping a cure for Mcdonalds full-screen pop-up with something worse. Mine has gone away now, and I am at peace - plus I find Burger King a better taste now anyway.

    Shame on you, McDonalds. You should be strung up by your McNuggets...

    I have the same issue with Edge constantly getting this annoying McDonalds full page ad. I tried all the suggestions here and I found that it sometimes happens with Chrome as well...

    Guess which browser that I have that does not have this problem. I even tried it on the Microsoft start page which is ate up with it.... Duck Duck Go... It will not appear in the DDG browser. I've tried to tempt it but it's a no McDonalds zone in Duck Duck Go.

    Try it, DDG goes where you tell it and it doesn't allow tracking. You can build up cookies but then there is a button to burn every attempt at tracking you and it tells you who tried.

    Good luck

    Bobby
