    So the ad blocker on my MacBook is effective but nothing on my iPhone. So lately, I click the ad to get it displayed and their ‘cookie magic.’ Then I open a new window to PriusChat and ‘relief’ along with the satisfaction someone got billed for a dead click display.

    No one reason. The ads are kinda of a 'speed bump' so I don't waste too much time on the iPhone. Call it my 'micro-penny' fine for the ad creator and reminder of how hard Google is trying to screw things up.
