This is how e-commerce websites and businesses make money online, after all. For web users, however, ads can be annoying and bothersome. Perhaps the side banner ads are fine because you can learn to ignore those, but the pop-ups are more difficult to deal with. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are browsing the internet, pop-ups can obscure the content you are trying to view. Some of them even have hidden \u2018close\u2019 buttons, making it difficult to eliminate them from your screen. When this happens, what do you do? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different steps that you can take to deal with pop-ups. It is important to vary your approach according to which browser you use.

Make sure you take advantage of that fact to eliminate the hassle of unwanted advertisements. Follow the steps below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Launch the Google Chrome browser.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Go to the upper right corner of the Google Chrome window. Click on the Menu icon and look for the three vertical dots. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Click on \u201cSettings\u201d and then the \u201cShow Advanced Settings\u201d option.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: From there, you must click on \u201cPrivacy and the Content Settings\u201d button. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Choose the Pop-Ups section and go to the \u201cDo not allow any site to show pop-ups\u201d option (if this option was not activated by default). You can also specify exclusions to certain websites or domain pages. To do that, you simply have to go to the \u201cManage exceptions\u201d button. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the steps above, you can also download and install pop-up blocker extensions. There are a few good ones, such as Fair Adblocker, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/adguard-adblocker\/bgnkhhnnamicmpeenaelnjfhikgbkllg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adguard Adblocker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/adblock\/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adblock<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blocking-pop-ups-in-microsoft-edge\">Blocking Pop-Ups in Microsoft Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are using the Windows 10 OS, the Microsoft Edge is your default web browser. You might be curious how you can stop pop-ups from showing with this particular browser. Here are a few simple steps you must take in order to disable those pesky pop-ups: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Launch Microsoft Edge on your computer. You can do this by clicking the blue \u201ce\u201d icon on the taskbar. Another option is to launch the Start menu. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Click on the More option located at the upper right-hand corner of the browser window. That\u2019s the three horizontal dots. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Choose the \u201cSettings\u201d option and then click \u201cAdvanced Settings\u201d. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: From there, you must click on the \u201cBlock Pop-Ups\u201d option. You know when this function is activated once the button turns blue. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blocking-pop-ups-in-mozilla-firefox\">Blocking Pop-Ups in Mozilla Firefox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/88ef0f65b312e6218f57b08cb45deabd.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/88ef0f65b312e6218f57b08cb45deabd.png\" alt=\"How to Deal With and Block Pop-Ups When Browsing Online\" class=\"wp-image-22974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/88ef0f65b312e6218f57b08cb45deabd.png 542w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/88ef0f65b312e6218f57b08cb45deabd-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/88ef0f65b312e6218f57b08cb45deabd-293x189.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/span><figcaption>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/adaware-ad-block\/cmllgdnjnkbapbchnebiedipojhmnjej\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chrome Web Store<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mozilla Firefox browser is one of the most popular options next to Google Chrome. Web users who rely on this browser must follow these steps to block pop-up ads from showing: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Launch the Mozilla Firefox browser.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Go to the Menu button (as indicated by three horizontal lines) on the upper right-hand corner of the window. Choose the \u201cOptions\u201d selection. (Note: For OS X users, the Menu option will appear as Preferences).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Go to the left side of the screen and click on \u201cContent\u201d. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Check the \u201cBlock Pop-Up Windows\u201d option on the screen. This will instantly prevent annoying pop-ups from showing up on your browser in the future. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: You can also prevent pop-ups from showing with the use of add-ons for Mozilla Firefox. Some of the best-known ones include Adblock Plus, Pop-Up Controller, and Ad-Aware Ad Block. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blocking-pop-ups-in-internet-explorer\">Blocking Pop-Ups in Internet Explorer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet Explorer is one of the first web browsers that were available on the internet. The newest version of this browser should be installed on your computer or device to use the pop-up blocker capabilities. These are the steps you need to follow to be able to activate the pop-up blocker functionality:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Download the latest version of the Internet Explorer. If you already have the latest version, you must launch the browser.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Go to \u201cTools\u201d. If you don\u2019t see this option, press the Alt key. &nbsp;Go to \u201cOptions\u201d (or Internet Options) and choose \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/windows-10-privacy-controls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy<\/a>\u201d. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Once in the Privacy tab, choose the \u201cPop-Up Blocker\u201d option and click on the \u201cBlock Pop-Ups\u201d (or \u201cTurn on Pop-up Blocker\u201d). You can also use this section to customize settings on pop-up ads. Simply go to the Settings section to see your options. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blocking-pop-ups-in-opera\">Blocking Pop-Ups in Opera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are using Opera, make sure to install the latest version as that comes with a built-in pop-up blocker. This is enabled by default to save you from the hassle of manual activation. During the installation process, you will also be shown options when it comes to blocking ads. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to specify how the browser blocks the ads, you can follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Launch the Opera web browser.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Go to Menu and click on the top left corner of the browser window. Go to Settings. (Note: For OS X users, the menu is located at the top of the screen and is called Preferences). <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Choose the first item on the list, which is \u201cBlock Ads\u201d. Check the box to activate this functionality. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like Google Chrome, you also have the option to download and install extensions on the Opera web browser. Two options available for Opera are Adguard and Adblock Plus. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-pop-up-blockers\">Third-Party Pop-Up Blockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the built-in pop-up blockers available to each web browser, you can also install third-party programs. You can find free pop-up ad blockers, while there are some premium ones that come with a fee. Make sure you read reviews and thoroughly evaluate each program before choosing to install them. If you have antivirus or anti-malware apps on your computer or laptop, some of them have built-in ad blocking capabilities, too. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing unwanted pop-ups when browsing online is easy by following the steps outlined above for each browser.
