To check if there is any new update pending, open chrome://settings/help and click on Check for Updates. Google brought intrusive ad-blocking with Chrome 71 and since then both pop-up and auto-redirect blocking have been improved.

In order to block annoying ads, it’s important to update Chrome to the latest version. Google keeps updating Chrome to bring new features to the table. It will scan your PC and thereafter, you can uninstall all the harmful programs. To access the tool, open chrome://settings/cleanup and click on Find. It scans your computer against programs which hinder Chrome’s performance and provides an option to remove it. The good news is that Chrome ships with an in-built cleanup tool. So unless you completely remove such programs from your PC, you can’t get rid of extensions and intrusive ads. The reason is that your PC might have some nefarious program installed which adds back those removed extensions. There are times when you have removed all the suspicious extensions, but you still see annoying Chrome ads out of nowhere. Now, you should not see any kind of ads when you open Chrome or switch to a new tab. Here, choose “New Tab Page”.Īfter that, change the startup tab to “New tab” as well. Just open Chrome Settings and scroll down to Appearance. Sometimes even after uninstalling the extension, the old configuration remains intact. While we are at it, you should also configure the new tab to open a fresh tab without any custom address.

If you don’t trust an extension or don’t recognize it, click on the Remove button and the extension will be uninstalled right away. Here, you can see all the extensions installed on your Chrome. To do so, type chrome://extensions in the URL bar and hit enter.

So you should regularly check Chrome extensions and remove the suspicious ones immediately. It’s because of dubious extensions installed sneakily on your Chrome. Sometimes, even if you have blocked intrusive ads through Chrome’s setting, you see large banners of ads on websites and Chrome new tab as well.
