I make big use of an ad blocker that stops pop ups.

I usually use the app and my phone to read FB, so I don't see those. This morning I saw them for the first time on my laptop...annoying.

Like another poster I use an ad blocker so haven't seen these. Ads tend to make some websites run slower which is very annoying.

I haven't seen anything like that. The only pop ups from Facebook I get are in the lower left corner as the notification appears at the top. It'll be something like "Sara liked your photo" or whatever. Those have been around forever though.

It's new. They must have rolled it out in groups. It's called "push notifications" and you can probably turn them off in settings. I agreed to them thinking I was agreeing to something else and it's ridiculous. I'm also really annoyed right now about the change in the timeline algorithms. It seems I'm getting way more stuff from friends just liking stuff. Not just memes and pages. Other people's profile pictures, photos, and stuff are all showing up now just because a friend liked it. I used to get way less of that crap. Now it's 75% of my timeline.

I think it is a Facebook "update." I use the Facebook app on my phone and have noticed this underneath the comment box.

It'll be something like "Sara liked your photo" or whatever. Those have been around forever though. That sounds pretty similar. I went back and re-read your initial post and it does sound similar. Mine just tells me when an action has happened. Like someone commenting on post, liking a post, or if one of my "close friends" posts something. I've never gotten one about somebody typing anything. Maybe yours updated? |

Haven't noticed it but it sounds really annoying. Like the new 'improved' algorithm feed I have to put up with on Instagram. Drives me crazy.
