When you browse the internet using the web browser, there are some links or sites that put up annoying pop-ups or sometimes, clicking the site takes you to a totally different location. This is called redirecting. The same thing also happens when you use the browser on your Android smartphone.
Traditionally, browsers are designed to keep us away from pop-ups or redirects, but there are some sites that evade the check and end up causing annoying problems or sometimes, long terms issues in your device. There have also been reports of some of these pop-ups, stealing your data, or even corrupting the browser, requiring a complete re-install.
Now, if you are using the Chrome browser on your Android device, it is possible to turn off these pop-ups and redirects across the whole internet (for you), and this will ensure that no matter where you go on the internet, the pop-ups and redirects will not get triggered.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to stop pop up ads on your Android phone.
