I assume that they are occurring in a browser of some flavor. I would suggest that you look at some popular browser plugins. I use firefox, so I don't know if these are available from chrome or chromium derived browsers, because they kind of are against the way google makes money. Google is making noises about a new browser plugin standard that would cripple these, all in the name of preventing security holes, of course. Sort of the way that the credit card companies advocate for stricter regulations as a way to prevent security breaches, rather than as a barrier to entry for competition. ublock-origin, or another ad blocker, to prevent javascript from going to ad websites. I don't have it enabled, and I get no popups with only the three plugins below. noscript, to prevent unauthorized javascript from running a cookie destroyer, so that cookies are erased unless you whitelist them, when you close the page. I use cookie autodelete privacy badger, that looks at heuristics to determine if sites are tracking you, and blocks them if they are. In firefox, in settings, you can set it to erase cookies on browser close, with a whitelist also. I recall there being a setting to block popups, but I couldn't find it. Not perfect, but you shouldn't see unwanted popups. Will take some tuning at first, but eventually, they will be unnoticeable as they do their job. If they clear out your infection, you might be able to turn them all off after a short time. Other people probably have ways to do the same thing, and maybe better ways than I'm suggesting. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
