Help Ads!! "mobvertising" url?

[Android Question]

This is f'ing RIDICULOUS & very frustrating!!!! When I try to read articles from links shared on FB (ThinkProgress, dailydose, etc) it will go to various full screen ads that I can't close out. I have to hit "back" a million times to get out of it - and give up on reading that article. Wtf!! I have a virus scanner, ad detector, etc and it picks up on nothing!! The same links and articles are fine when I go to them from my iPad.

I'm freaking pissed!!

Doesn't fb now give you a little 3dot menu you can tap that let's you use a 3rd party browser? Pretty sure I found that today

Yes, it then happened in the browser. I googled "mobvertising" and came across a Google Chrome forum. Apparently, its been a problem with chrome for quite awhile. It seems to be going through wifi/dns and redirecting you to bs ad sites. I switched from wifi to my cell network and am no longer being redirected to ads. So that works to a certain extent; however, now I'm using my data when I could be using wifi instead. So it's not a fix, sigh. What is also strange is it ONLY happens on our phones (both Galaxys) and not on the PC - even when using Google Chrome.
