Why am I getting so many pop-ups on my browser?
Frequent pop-ups are usually due to adware, unsafe extensions, or website settings.
If you’re seeing an excessive number of pop-ups, it’s likely due to either adware installed on your computer or specific browser settings. Start by checking your browser extensions, as some may be adware disguised as helpful tools. Disable or delete any unfamiliar or suspicious extensions. Next, navigate to your browser’s settings and look for a 'pop-up blocker' option, which you can turn on to prevent pop-ups from appearing. Many sites also display pop-ups to gather consent or share offers, so you might also see a lot depending on which sites you visit. Running an antivirus or anti-malware scan can help detect and remove any adware that may be causing pop-ups. For a deeper fix, consider resetting your browser settings or, as a last resort, reinstalling the browser entirely to clear any persistent pop-up issues. It’s also wise to avoid clicking on ads or suspicious links that can trigger further pop-ups or install adware.
