How To Block Pop Up Ads on Android in Chrome
The majority of Android phones come with Chrome as their default browser, and you can block pop-ups in your browser settings. To turn this setting on, do the following:
- On your Android device, launch Chrome.
- To the right of the address bar, tap More, then tap Settings
- Tap Site settings, then tap Pop-ups and redirects.
- Change Pop-ups and redirects to Block (You should then see “Block sites from showing pop-ups and redirects (recommended)” under Pop-ups and redirects).
- Activating this setting in Chrome stops most pop-up ads on Android, but some ads and aggressive pop-ups can still get through. For a more robust pop-up blocking option, you might consider trying an Android browser that allows extensions, such as Firefox or Samsung Internet.
