How do I stop POPUPS in Chrome?

I switched over to Chrome awhile back because of problems with Firefox and now I’m constantly getting Popups especially when I view the news. Every time I close Chrome there is another window behind it and sometimes it is playing an advertisement video with sound that drowns out a video that I’m trying to watch.

I went to settings but I can’t find any popup settings to shut it off so now I'm using Firefox to watch the news which is another set of problems.

Thanks, I thought I had it already while using Firefox and even made a donation for its use, but I guess you have to install it separately for Chrome. I tried it out with CBS News which is the worst for popups and it seemed to work, but It will take a little time to know for sure. :)

Yes, each browser has its own addins you install. They are not universal between browsers.

Pop-Ups are back in Chrome after last update! :mad:

How do I get rid of this pop-up that keeps coming up every time I open a tab in chrome? It is annoying and my Bitdefender goes nuts every time it does. Is it malware? It says Google Chrome. But I don’t think it has anything to do with Chrome
