<![CDATA[Pop-ups keep appearing on a specific site]]>These pop-ups keep appearing on https://mangasee123.com/, even though the adblocker is on. Until now it's the only site I've seen this behavior. ![alt text](image urlScreenshot_2021-10-20-19-34-39-549_com.opera.browser.jpg )

I have a Pocophone F1 from Xiaomi and it's Android 12 Xiaomi build. Data savings is off.

It's better to have occasionally popup unwanted than having a wanted popup not displaying. I visited the website and don't have popup. But I am on tablet in always desktop mode.

A lot of people don't understand how a website knows which device people have. So I explained how the displayed popup knew to pretend being Opera browser.

It doesn't explain why there is a pop-up even with pop-up blocker enabled.

Every browser sends a header when visiting a website. Almost every browser includes the mobile device name. This device name is extracted. The website knows the device name and with java script makes a popup telling what device one has.

I could only make this working without device name at my tablet. In always desktop mode.

The popup is therefore at the website happening.

You now know what actually happened. It isn't something to worry about but it's annoying. Future coming chromium based browsers will omit the device type name.

It is however usually used to decide what type version of a website will be shown. However nowadays the screen size should be enough for websites to know.

There's something wrong with it?

Go with opera browser to

https://echo.opera.com

Look at the results, is your phone type device name in the results?

Now go to within Opera browser in the settings and choose opera to display desktop site instead of mobile site.

Again go to

https://echo.opera.com

Look at the results, is your phone type device name still in there?

You can set back opera browser to mobile website when done if you want.
