I'm pissed at my iPad air

It interrupts me when I'm at another site like du shuts off du opens up the fucking App Store to force me to look at an ad,I shut the ad off and I have to go back to du relocate the thread and find where I was at on the thread. This is pissing me off. My iPad air randomly does this shit. I want control over my iPad and I'm sick to death of fucking ads interruptions and in app purchases crap I'm so pissed it's sickening.what do I do to shut this shit off.forever.

In order to use it on an iDevice, one has to have jailbroken it first.

Blame developers, the manufacturer, or whatever (further suggestions on request).

Saying you're pissed off at your iPad is like me saying I'm pissed off at my toaster.

doesn't have a program like this that connects with consumers in moments that matter, on the toasters that they love.

when people express anger at inanimate objects, technology notwithstanding.

Go into settings and look at the notification settings. I have an older iPad and don't have that problem.

Some websites have popup code in them containing itunes or app store links. The iPad response to these links is to dump the browser and then open the app store at the advertised app.

awhile back and I was getting mad too. Then it stopped. I have no idea why for either.
