Often we don't want to see advertisements that can appear in a variety of invasive ways, which will disrupt your experience on the Internet or on specific sites. Nowadays, many browsers have the function of removing advertisements that are considered invasive as a native feature, but even so, this function needs to be activated and many people may not know how to do this, so we have prepared a guide on how to do this.

What are intrusive ads?

They are considered on the desktop:

• Pop-up ads;
• Video ads with auto-play and sound activated;
• Full page ads;
• Large, fixed ads.

Or on mobile:

• Pop-up ads;
• Animated flashing ads;
• Video ads with auto-play and sound activated;
• Full page ads;
• Persistent ads;
• Ads with a density greater than 30%;
• Full-screen ads that prevent scrolling;

Chrome

This browser has a native feature that blocks these ads that are considered invasive. To activate it, follow these steps:

• Open the Menu in the top right corner of your screen, it will have an icon of 3 bars;
• Go to "Settings";
• Click on the "Advanced" option at the bottom;
• Now go to the "Site Settings" option, which is located just below "Privacy and Security";
• Then there will now be "More Content Settings", on which, after being clicked, there will be an option to leave ads disabled, which will work to block ads that are considered evasive on all sites.
