[Hidden-tech] Chrome popups

[Jeff Brand]

Make sure you're using a legitimate Adblocker. I personally use Adblock 
Plus, 
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en-US

You should be able to rule out the cause by process of elimination. If 
the ad blocker you have is from a reputable source, then I'd try 
disabling the other one first. Also, take a look in the reviews for 
either extension to see if others are reporting similar behavior.

There's also a chance that it's a system-level malware infection. If 
you're running a PC, download Malware Bytes and run a scan.
