I don't enforce parental controls (restrictions). They are too old for that crap.

However I don't want adverts in web pages that have detected an iPad forever redirecting to the app store. Then when you switch back to safari they reload and back to the app store app again unless you are quick.

It's like the bad old days of the Internet again playing banner whack a mole.

This has been a recent phenomenon, that as of yesterday started gaining public acknowledgment.

Malicious ads on ad networks are hardly a recent phenomenon.

You can download (free) browser apps, Terra for instance, that spoof the browser useragent (ie, firefox, another one iirc).
