Unwanted ads can be annoying . Abusive ads can slow even the best Android phones, drain your battery, and compromise privacy. Advertisements usually appear on a web page, but ads can sometimes be seen in pop-ups, notifications, and Android wallpaper if an abusive app is installed. This guide shows you how to get rid of these bad ads.
Block pop-ups, redirects, and ads on Google Chrome
Google Chrome has a built-in pop-up and ads blocker to disable intrusive or misleading ads. Follow the steps below to enable them on your phone.Open Google Chrome on your Android phone.
1:Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right 2:corner and open Settings.
2:Scroll to Site settings.
4:Open Pop-ups and redirects.
5:Enable the Pop-ups and redirects toggle from the following menu.
6:Go back to Site settings and select Ads.
7:Turn on the Ads toggle.
If you want to remove ads during web browsing, use one of the third-party web browsers on Android, as Chrome doesn't support an ad-blocker extension on mobile. Samsung Internet and Firefox are two popular Chrome alternatives that offer ad-blocker extensions on Android.
Check Google Chrome site notifications
Allowing every website to send real-time notifications to your Android phone or tablet is not a good idea. Apart from sending useful alerts, some websites may spam your device's notification center with irrelevant partner content.
Here's how to disable notifications for unnecessary websites:
1:Long-press the Google Chrome app icon and tap the i button.
2:Open Notifications.
3:Scroll to All Sites notifications.
4:Check the allowed sites list and the number of alerts each website sends in a week.
5:Disable notification permission for unknown websites from the list.

Block ads with a DNS service
A DNS service is one of the easiest ways to block ads on most websites. AdGuard offers two free ad-blocking DNS addresses. One is family-oriented and blocks websites with adult content, family.adguard-dns.com. The other only blocks ads, dns.adguard-dns.com.
When using a DNS service, most websites work as usual but could load slower. The places where advertising typically appears shows a blank area, meaning you'll need to scroll past this large blank space to see more content. Some pop-up ads might still be visible, depending on the website. Also, some websites might not work when using a DNS-based ad blocker.
To set up DNS ad blocking with AdGuard, open the Settings app and tap Network & Internet. Open Private DNS options near the bottom of the screen. A pop-up window appears. Tap the option for Private DNS provider hostname, then type your preferred DNS service, such as family.adguard-dns.com. Click Save to enable AdGuard.
Not all ads are bad
Advertising serves a purpose and can help you as much as it helps advertisers. An ad can inform of a sale on a game you're interested in or introduce a new restaurant in town that serves your favorite food.
