We’ve been getting reports from users in the past several days about the Globe iToolbar popping up again on their mobile phones and tablets. Even our old story from back in May 2012 has been revived with user feedback about it.
We have not encountered the toolbar ourselves until tonight when it mysteriously appeared on our laptop browser. Here’s a screenshot of the Globe iToolbar showing up on the Netvibes page (we’re tethered to a Globe iPhone 5).
It’s not showing on other pages except the Netvibes page. It eventually disappeared after a couple of page refresh. In any case, it now confirms the re-appearance of the widget that was previously scrapped by Globe.
Anybody else seeing the iToolbar lately?
I saw the code on Tattoo home testing websites. Apparently the code can ruin websites showing up properly. A very bad thing to do, messing with web pages by adding or changing stuff.
nilagay ko sya sa URL block list ko. nag stopped yun for several months tapos bumalik ulit 2 weeks ago. baka bago na naman yung cookie URL.
gLobe is ready to rule the world .. haha
It shows when go to google, yugatech, cnet, and engadget… using mozilla and chrome..
when I used IE10 it didn’t pop out. it’s annoying.
Is it possible to manually block it via Flashblock, Adblock or hosts file (Windows) shenanigans?
alternatively, you can use adblock extension/plugins depending on your browser. sure way to kill it without relying on the disable option of that annoying toolbar

I’m also experiencing the same, when I had my Globe Tattoo Postpaid internet sim replaced and made a post about it here:http://geekyfaust.info/news/annoying-globe-toolbar-part-2/
^^
Wow, pasimpleng spam and free promotion! Dito pa talaga sa YT umepal.
It mostly appears in web pages that are not HTTPS.
sir yuga is it possible na ma-charge ka ng globe postpaid ng additional if ginamit mo as personal hotspot ng iphone 5 LTE mo? for example connecting your laptop to your iphone 5. thank you!
I’ll answer that. No.
also encountered that last time…
Annoying toolbar. There’s a disable button, but it doesnt work. It comes back after browsing a few pages -_-. What’s more annoying is that everytime i start my browser, the toolbar’s welcome pop-up sign covers the entire page.
So annoying, I’ve been experiencing that lately
