How can I get rid of pop ups?

Getting rid of pop ups

Whenever I open a site another totally unrequested one pops up as well. How do I stop this?

I get loads of "Congratulations. Claim and ipad mini or other prize. Act now"

In most sites certain words are highlighted and pop ups appears for them as well.

I don't know how to stop this but it's driving me mad!

I'm assuming you are referencing a computer. You might want to check your Privacy/Security settings.

I see those pop ups on my phone sometimes. I just swipe those sites out of Safari. They're usually not important.

If you are on your phone you can use an alternative browser. Most have Adblock support.
