I can relate to this, drives me mad.

So very, very true nowadays! The odd thing is that Google is meant to penalise sites that do things like this, yet I still end up on plenty of sites with tons of these in-page popups.

Taken from Reddit:

I already use Ublock Origin but will be giving the rest of it a go!


uBlock Origin + Nano Defender.

Add these extra filters to uBlock Origin:
Anti-PopAds and I Don't Care about Cookies.

Also disable notification permissions from your browser settings.


If you're using Firefox, do this to control pop-ups in more effective way:
Enter about:config
dom.popup_maximum to 3
dom.popup_allowed_events to click dblclick

Haha, that is annoyingly accurate!
