You probably need to explore the capabilities of your browser. Go into its tools and see what options there are for blocking popup ads. Might try blocking cookies for all but a few sites in which they’re useful (like FR).
And stay outta the worst sites like townhall.com! When I go there I need to ctrl-alt-del too, it’s like walking into a blizzard.
I just checked my settings and it looks like I am pretty well covered to prevent pop-ups and cookies.
