One of the most irritating internet-related situations is being bombarded by a mountain of pop-up ads while trying to access a link on a website. No matter where I seem to click, a new pop-up ad appears! Even an attempt to close down existing ads is met with more and more new pop-ups on my screen.
Now, I know I’m not the only one who’s been through this. Almost every website on the internet is riddled with hidden pop-up ads… But fret not! Here’s what you can do to make it better.
