AdGuard and its kin are your friend.
Oh that’s right, I installed AdBlock a long while ago and haven’t had much of any problem since, so it’s really good.
Well it does mean a lot of news sites give you a pop-up complaining that you have ad block software. Some of them will still let you browser their site, while others will stop you unless you “whitelist” them to allow their ads.
So I do still get all the pop-ups which complain that I have an ad blocker!!
