Can somebody explain to me what anchor ads are?

    I hate it when something is thrown at us and then you have no idea how to disable that option. I can't find it (the option to disable it) in my account.

    1. So, how exactly anchor ads will look like on a page?

    2. How do I disable the option in my AS account?

    Thanks!

    On all of them, I guess. As long as I have an adsense code it will start showing "anchor ads"... I think. Maybe it's not the case. I don't want to show them unless I know what they are. The help pages I visited had no detailed explanation about it nor how to disable them. One help page showed me how to show them on the bottom of my pages by adding a line of code to an existing code, which is not helpful at all (https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7478225?hl=en).

    To disable anchor ads Goto Account>Overview> Edit is beside your site name
    Then Adsettings>Ad Formats and Toggle off Anchor Ads

    Actually, I found out if your Auto Ads option is OFF anchor ads won't show. Maybe you meant Auto Ads, not Anchor Ads. I don't see that option in my account.

    Hello!
    I'm not really into this topic, but you definitely have experience.
    I have disabled automatic ads, but for some reason anchor ads are shown.
    I can't figure out my account at all.
    And by the way, I have a Safari, maybe it affects.
    Please tell me what can I do about it?

    Maybe yours isn't disabled on the domain level? Also do you have their .js file in the <head></head>? Remove it if you do. I haven't noticed any anchor ads on my sites yet.
