Looking for a reliable free ad blocker that works across all sites? I usually encounter pop-ups on any site, though I only get a few here and there. Anyone have a simple, affordable solution that’s easy to set up? I mainly use Firefox, but also Chrome and Explorer.

In Chrome there are effective ad blockers. I often rely on AdBlock Plus, though you might need additional tools to cover all sources.

Performed a malware scan using MalwareBytes. Verified no ad extensions are injecting ads.

You can add the pop-up links yourself and hide them. Since they appear consistently, you might need to block the triggers or use a script to prevent them from showing.

You can check by looking for additional files or folders that aren't part of your main application, and see if there are unfamiliar extensions like .exe, .dll, or .zip.

Works in Chrome or Firefox? I use Chrome and tried pressing the ABP logo, then 'Block element', and finally clicking somewhere on the page. It seems it might help.

Choose Firefox more strongly.

Instead of setting up an app, turn on the pop-up blocker across all your browsers. Use the link provided to activate it for every browser and ensure no pop-ups appear. POP ENABLER
