When you talk about browsing the internet on your Android smartphone, the one thing that you definitely want to avoid is pop-ups. On PC, these browser pop-ups can easily be closed as they do not interrupt your current ongoing tasks, but when it comes to browsing on your smartphone, the pop-ups can place themselves across the home screen and put a full stop to your current operation in progress.
The best way to prevent these ads is to disable the pop-ups in your browser, which will not only remove pop-ups on your Android smartphone but also keep your device safe from potential malware that can be triggered by these pop-ups.
Let’s see how you can disable pop-ups on Android.
