How do I get rid of the constant, annoying pop-up?

[janrom2]

I keep getting an annoying pop-up - sometimes even when I'm in the middle of typing a search - wanting me to install  some Ebay app.

I don't have - or want - a smartphone and there is no way I'm installing it on my PC.

There is only one way I will access Ebay -  with my Firefox, where I can block all ads, block unwanted scripts, have the colours/fonts the way *I* like them.

In short, my Firefox, my internet, MY WAY.

I would lose all that control with an app.

How do I stop this *bleep* popup?  (Yes, I could probobly use my adblocker to do it, but, hopefully there is a setting on Ebay somewhere to do it).

This issue has been raised a couple of times previously and dates back several months now. Here's one from the Technical Issues board:

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Technical-Issues/Annoying-app-popup/m-p/7580391#M23940

I personally do not believe that the popup can be blocked as it's part of eBay's start-up process, so technically not a 3rd-party popup. Post #3 on the thread above suggests trying AdblockPlus, downloading the Ghostery extension or trying Brave browser, although Post#4 says Adblock Plus doesn't stop the popup and they are using Vivaldi browser which has popups blocked.

I've had this popup appear for more than 6 months now, though not constantly - it'll show up every day for a week or so then disappear for several weeks before reappearing. Like you I don't have a smartphone and am simply not interested in the App.

Annoying though it is I don't think there is anything that can be done to stop the popup. The only effect it has on me is to use eBay less and less these days.

Unless I'm totally missing the point (which is quite possible) why not just make whatever ebay page you want to go to most often one of your "Favourites".

I got fed-up with all the ebay bumph on the Home Page years back and Favourited my Watch List, now that's my landing page on ebay and I haven't been near the Home Page since.

So now it's a double pop up - you dismiss the first, then a few seconds later another pop up appears telling you what your missing by not having the app.

Do they really think that it's a good idea to constantly bombard someone who's already dismissed the pop up hundreds of times? It's got to the point I would much rather just give my money to Amazon - no annoying pop up's on their site.
