My ISP is inserting ads into web pages randomly (it is like a popup in the bottom right side). I have tried different browsers but same thing happens. I know it is not caused by any virus because ads are for the ISP's apps and other things. With another ISP in a different area there are no ads. I can't change my ISP, and complaining is a waste (I have already tried).
Someone told me I can hide ads with an ad blocker, but I want to block the ads completely so no data are wasted for downloading them. Is this possible?
If you are using chrome use this plugin to block ads AdBlock. For Firefox use this plugin Adblock Plus. These plugins blocks almost almost all ads from well known domains that publishes ads but since in your case the ads are injected from your ISP you might need to configure the plugins to block the source from which your ISP is pushing in the ads.

Ad blockers usually strips off the request to the ad service or tracking scripts. You can find more about it in this article. Now there is no harm in trying and see what happens with a adblocker but it looks like you are stuck with the misconception you have about it. I have been using adblockers for years and advised many people who are annoyed by ads to use them.
