    Ok, links on AZ are redirected again. To be more specific, links are redirected to inclk.com, which apparently is owned by the ad network of your choice, revenuehits.
    There appears to be a counter as those redirects seem to be limited to the first three clicks per session.
    Ad sense might be out of the question but does it have to be as bad as this?

    Just sayin'.... I'm not down with the idea of having a new tab open in my browser when the first action that I try to perform on AZ is an attempt log in.

    The jquery injection at the foot of the homepage html is indiscriminate. It traps any mouseclick on the page (left and right, it doesn't matter which one). So, it feels to me like a boobytrap.

    Popups and ads? No problem. I can live with that. Boobytraps? Meh. That's uncool, brah. It's kinda scummy. The good news is... after logging in to AZ, a token is passed to my browser and the jquery at the foot of the frontpage html is no longer there; thus, the mouseclick trap is effectively removed, and "normal" service is resumed.

    To be honest, it's no more than a mild inconvenience to have the extra browser tab open up with the first click anywhere on AZ's frontpage. But it still feels a wee bit inelegant - like AZ is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. For that reason, I'm less likely to visit AZ as often as I used to do and, with regret, turn elsewhere for a first-look eyeball on the audio appz scene.

    Register and get rid of those advertisements which sometimes hijack your browser by going full screen and ask you to download a chrome extension. It happened to me 2-3 times.

    All you need to do is use a popup blocker and use uBlock origin. Any popup blocker should work fine, I just personally use that one. If you feel like giving AudioZ your ad view then disable uBlock on the site; else, don't. How anyone pirates things and complains about popups/ads is beyond me.

    Thanks for the site bois; it's a godsend for poor saps like myself :like:

    Not worked in my case. Registering on peeplink and audioz works well.

    It's a bit more complicated than that. Sure, bills gotta be paid, but this seems to be about registering on the site. Would you register on a site that surprise buttsecs you, right off the bat, and then coyly says "If we was friends, this wouldn't happen. Just sayin', lol"? Taking into account that the alternative is simply using a browser add-on?

    Google has announced a new security feature update coming to Chrome browser in future versions, all of them aimed at unwanted redirects that are triggered when loading certain websites.

    Win 7, chrome + simple ad blocker.
    I get one popup when selecting a link in peeplink but the popup disappears in 50ms, before it manages to open anything, literally zero problems, also you need to be registered.

    The malicious urls are ever changing and as long as they are not updated in the blocklists, the do get through once in a while.

    same here.. I have no idea what these guys are talking about...register a user name, and fortify yourself with some
    adblockers, good to go

    I have adblock plus, ublock, and ghostery (tracking blocker technically ), running on Firefox
