How to Block Ads on Google Chrome

Blocking Pop-ups and Redirects (Desktop)

Click the three-dot menu. It’s in the top-right corner of the window. A drop-down menu will appear.

Click Settings. You’ll find this option near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Doing so opens the Settings page.

Click Privacy and security. It’s towards the top of the lefthand column. Clicking it opens a new section of options.

Scroll down and click Site Settings. You’ll find this at the bottom of the “Privacy and security” section.

Select a website. You can find a list of recently visited sites under Recent Activity, or click View permissions and data stored across sites to view a full list of websites you have visited.

Click the drop-down next to “Pop-ups and redirects” and “Intrusive ads”. Make sure these are set to Block.

• Google defines intrusive ads as advertisements that are misleading, so this method will not block ads entirely on Chrome.
