Pop-Up Ads or Unwanted Browser Windows

Modified on Thu, 26 Jun at 3:15 PM

1. Run a browser cleaner: 

  • Many browsers have built-in tools or extensions to help.
  • Chrome: Go to Settings > Reset settings > Clean up computer.
  • Firefox: Go to Help > More troubleshooting information > Refresh Firefox.

2. Remove suspicious browser extensions: 

  • Most unwanted pop-ups come from bad browser extensions.
  • Chrome: Type chrome://extensions into the address bar.
  • Firefox: Type about:addons into the address bar.
  • Edge: Click the three dots menu > Extensions. 

3. Use a reputable ad blocker:

  •  Install a well-known ad-blocking extension (like uBlock Origin) to prevent most pop-ups.
  • Disable or remove any extensions you don't recognize or trust.
