How To Block Those Annoying Pop-Up Ads

SICK OF BEING SMOTHERED?
Kill those pop-ups once and for all.

One of the most irritating internet-related situations I’ve found myself in is being bombarded by a mountain of pop-up ads while trying to access a link on a website. No matter where I seem to click, a new pop-up ad appears! Even an attempt to close down existing ads is met with more and more new pop-ups on my screen.

Now, I know I’m not the only one who’s been through this. Almost every website on the internet is riddled with hidden pop-up ads… But fret not! Here’s what you can do to make it better.

FOR CHROME USERS

Download a Chrome Extension called “AdBlock”. It’s totally free, and it will help to block the vast majority of potential pop-up ads on any site.
Here’s how you download it:

Open up Google Chrome, and click on the 3-bar icon on the top right-hand corner of your browser.
Hover your mouse over “More Tools”, and then click on “Extensions”.

This will redirect you to the Chrome Extensions page. Scroll down and click on “Get more extensions”.
You will then be directed to the Chrome Web Store. In the top left-hand corner, you will see a search bar. Type “AdBlock” into this search bar and then press Enter on your keyboard.
Search results will be given. You’ll want to scroll down until you see this result:

Click on “ADD TO CHROME”.
A notification will appear at the top of your screen, asking you for confirmation. Click “Add extension”.
Done! The AdBlock icon will now appear next to the 3-bar icon on the top right-hand corner of your browser screen.
