mixdrop is acting wierd

[traplover19]

something is happening to mixdrop i have brave with a build in addblocker and it used to work great recently as basically today its start giving me popups
tried to turn my add blocker of and nothing basically mixdrop stopped working
and wont let me actually download the files and when that happened i hightailed it out of there because that doesnt look safe

Came here to post this, as well. There's no way we're alone. It's annoying as fuck. I despise the devs who limit their hosting to it, FilesFM, and anything else that isn't a straightforward "click>click>save/as". Pixeldrain appears to have cracked down on download caps as well. So that leaves us with the annoying Mega, Drive (until too many downloads), Workupload, GoFile (easily the best, at least for me), and some lesser used others.

Same is happening to me. Pop ups everywhere on MixDrop and even starting to try and install something on my pc. My avast is working overtime on times. Something has def. changed over on that site.

i also have the same issue, popups after popups, then a random redirection on google (aka: go buy this shit)
and the site also want me to install opera for no reason...

my guess is, that there is no one to even work on the site, and is slowly left to rot away.

i was able to download game after closing few popups but bitdefender is not big fan of this site

The Mixdrop DL page is cancer. Extremely aggressive pop-up strategies, false/covered buttons and redirects, a flaky wait-time timer, and all of that for pretty garbage DL speeds. Finally, once you've cleared that guantlet, the resulting file gets flagged for malware immediately upon completion.

It's gahbij!

It's the dodgiest of the approved filehosts, use literally anything else from that list.

In my humble opinion, Mixdrop should be removed from the list of approved filehosting sites. Low download speeds, pop-ups that make my antivirus scream with all its might - all this will make you question the safety of this service for users.

Agreed!

I also agree. It was annoying enough a few years ago when you had to click that DL button a few times and then wait for a countdown and click again, but I just had to close three windows and my antivirus stopped two separate downloads just loading the page. I use ESET, so that's at least two antivirus programs having issues with the site.

Is there a way to get attention to this from the moderators?

Just tested the site, with Firefox in private mode and NoScript (and adblocker, internet security etc)


The first attempt gives an "invalid token" error, which seems to happen from clicking on links from this site.
For example, itch.io has the same problem. Can be avoided by using "copy link without tracking" in the right-click context menu of the posted link, then pasting this manually into a new browser tab.

Allowing only the primary site script in NoScript seems to work fine. As mentioned it failed after the first cooldown, then i reloaded the page with F5, and the download started without issues. No pop-ups, no warnings, no nothing.

Can't say anything about the speed, i didn't actually download the file.
