    Yeah, I've been experiencing this as well when using Google Chrome to check things as a guest. I just close the tab and go on my way.

    Not sure what the issue is, but you could always switch to Mozilla Firefox.

    I actually haven't had an issue with that. But I just use Adblock Plus.

    Well, even with Adblock Plus, it happens.

    Chrome is good about windowed pop-up ads but not as good with tabbed pop-up ads. I've mostly used ABP with a ton of white listing, but that really is a shotgun approach, and as mentioned it still isn't entirely accurate (though I guess nothing will be).

    Just a quick thought, you may also want to run some form of a malware scan. Personally at least I find that when I start seeing especially annoying ads with any frequency it usually isn't the website, though that is very dependent on what sites you frequent.

    If you're getting a lot of popups then I really can't stress what Mixt is saying enough: a lot of malware will make your browser show popups, redirect you to other websites, etc. If this is happening no matter what website you're on then run a scan with Malwarebytes.

    Check out Adblock Plus.

    A lot of the popups you are seeing are coming from iframes in ads and not the websites themselves. If you block the ads, you will also block the popups. When you find an ad that opens a popup, add a custom rule to Adblock Plus and it will not happen again.

    If you go to a scam website on your own, not much can be helped.
