Extra tools to block Chrome popups
By following the instructions above you were able to enable (or in any case to better configure) the function by which to block Chrome popups but unfortunately there are some types of popups that despite everything could continue to compare.
To counter them effectively, you can use third-party extensions which, in fact, allow you to block the appearance of advertising windows where the filter included in the Google home browser fails in its task. You ask me what are these extensions? Well, I personally suggest you Poper Blocker e JavaScript Popup Blocker then, of course, it's up to you to choose.
