Open Chrome, select the three-dot menu, then go to Settings. From there, look through the privacy and site settings related to intrusive advertising.<\/p>\n<h3>Block Pop-Ups First<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Pop-up windows stay out of your way, which makes browsing feel much less jumpy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The setting is already inside Chrome, so there&#8217;s nothing extra sitting in your browser toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Some websites need pop-ups for useful features, but Chrome lets you allow them for specific sites when necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Turn Down Intrusive Ads<\/h2>\n<p>Chrome also has controls for intrusive advertising. These settings are worth checking if certain websites keep throwing oversized ads across the screen or playing content in ways you didn&#8217;t ask for.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t suddenly block every advertisement. That&#8217;s important. Chrome&#8217;s built-in controls are aimed at the worst behavior rather than advertising as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>And honestly, I prefer this approach if you&#8217;re trying to keep your browser simple. Extensions can be excellent, but another extension means another thing to update and troubleshoot when a website suddenly behaves oddly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Change Chrome&#8217;s Ad Settings Start with Chrome&#8217;s privacy and security settings.
