I opened this ibtimes link with Chrome on an Android phone, and my screen was hijacked by a prize offer, asking me to press OK. I couldn't get rid of it -- not even by stopping and restarting the browser. Finally I stopped Chrome and deleted all its stored data. That worked. Has anyone else experienced the same problem with this link?

Haven't tested it on Chrome (mobile) but now I'm afraid to. Either way, you might want to look for an adblocker. I know that's the basis of a hundred discussions on this site but I find that the relative intrusiveness compared to the more limited resources of a mobile device make ad blocking even more valuable on mobile than on the desktop much of the time.
