...late last week, I'm not really sure of the day, but within the last 5-6 days.

On my Android phone only, using Chrome, with an ad blocker. IIRC when I clicked a tweet embedded in an OP, viewed the tweet in the Twitter app, & then switched back to viewing the DU OP there would be a dialog box onscreen saying "popup blocked" or "2 popups blocked." I don't know if they were ads because they were blocked, but it had never happened before. It stopped happening later in the day & hasn't happened since.

Unfortunately I don't know how to examine the page source code on my Android phone, I looked around in menus & didn't see a way to do it. I guess I might have to save the html file & open it in a text editor?
