how to i block these popups
However, you should not generally being seeing popups like these. You might want to try the SMASHBLOCK Blocklist as well as some of the built in annoyance filters. StevenBlack/hosts is another great one. Both of those are amalgamations of multiple blocklists, so they will filter way more stuff than you're used to.
