Google Ads Overlapping in Content

Dear Microsoftians;

 

Would you guys please help & elaborate why Google Ads' banner doesn't erase completely when clicked to be discarded and overlap the surrounding content instead..?

 

 Appreciate your help guys...:stareyes:

    Muhammad Arbaz Khan Hello! You've posted your question in the Tech Community Discussion space, which is intended for discussion around the Tech Community website itself, not product questions. 

     

    However, I'm not certain why you've posted this here at all. Google Ads is not one of our discussion topics as this is a Microsoft forum, unless it's how those ads are placed in Edge. Can you elaborate on how this connects to Microsoft products and services?

      Thanks for your response EricStarker. Yes, it relates to the problem occurring in MS Edge. I use the edge browser in my "Huawei Mate 10 Lite" and the problem happens when any google ad occurs in between the written content. The ad overlaps itself on the information written sometimes above or either down after it... I just need to learn whether should I change my browser or I need to modify some settings on my phone. I'm confused if it's a browser (Edge's) problem or either Google ads' banners are less device responsive.

  • Hey there Muhammad Arbaz Khan! Welcome to the Edge space on Tech Community 😃

     

    I see this is from CNN but I wasn't able to reproduce the ad in the Edge browser. It might be the AMP delivery is inserting ads in this way, though. Are you able to tap the ... menu on the top right and confirm what is on the bottom of that menu - it should say 'Powered by ...' and have an option directly above that to open in the browser. Is the browser listed Edge?
