Advertising on website opens Google Play Store. How can I prevent that? A website I recently visited on my Android device (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com) has code on the page (likely in the advertising banner at the top) that forces my Android's Google Play Store application to open up to Candy Crush. The link it's using: 

market://details?id=com.king.candycrushsaga&amp;referrer=ACID155-1378233900389-90097883


This is an unwanted action. Other than no longer visiting this site on my Android devices, is there a way to prevent this from happening?

I had two thoughts on the matter. Changing the agent to something that would not indicate that my device was running Android, or to disable the Play Store by deleting the vend app from a rooted device.

I'd like to avoid such nuclear options if possible.
Better way - block it on that site.

Try installing Adblock Plus for Android. According to Adblock Plus official website it
"Blocks banners, pop-ups and video ads - even on Facebook and YouTube".
