From approximately two weeks I’m observing that when I use my internet browser for internet surfing, too many pop-ups are coming, which is very annoying. What can I do to reduce these pop-ups while using the browser?

The different popups appearing on your browser as you visit websites depend on the website you visit. It is their own way of monetizing their traffic. Monetization on websites is very important as it helps cover operational cost. If you are annoyed of the unwanted popups and you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try resetting the browser’s settings.
Click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Network and Internet Connections” then “Internet Options.” In “Internet Properties” window, go to “Advanced” tab then click “Reset” at the bottom under “Reset Internet Explorer settings.” On the next screen, click “Reset.” Try also using other browsers or update your browser.

All available standalone installers on the internet point to a slightly old version. The new Microsoft Edge supports Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10. It is also available for macOS, iOS, and Android.
