Annoying advertising is something that an Internet user encounters on a daily basis. The pop-up window in the lower right corner of the Chart interferes with reading the text, distracts and annoys. It is good that the developers have provided an option to disable pop-up windows in the browser settings. There are also options for protection against advertising with the help of applications and programs that block any advertising (sound, text and video).
Sometimes the appearance of pop-ups in Chrome can be caused by virus utilities that are built into the settings during the download of applications or if suspicious files were installed from the network.
Where ads appear in the lower-right corner of your browser
Displaying advertisements is a common income on the network. For each view of the ad, the advertiser pays either the application developer or a specific user. Even big companies like Google take advantage of this opportunity to boost their profits.
How does a pop-up window appear in my browser? The settings prescribe the addresses of the sites of advertisers' companies. When a user connects to the Internet and opens a browser, a special algorithm sends a request to the site server with a pop-up advertising window, then starts showing videos.
The algorithm for scrolling through ads is the same, this is used by viral applications. When installing unverified files or applications downloaded from third-party sources, the addresses of sites interested in displaying advertising are prescribed in the browser settings.
Sometimes the user is interested in receiving up-to-date information about discounts, bonuses, interesting offers of online stores, software development companies. You can set up advertising impressions from specific sites and block the activity of viral applications, adult sites, companies selling computer games at your discretion.
Request to show notifications
The Chrome browser also provides an option "Show notifications" – the extension allows you to timely receive information about important events, meetings, sales and premiere shows.
