How Can I Block Pop-Under Ads?

Lots of pop-under ads get through Chrome's built-in popup blocker. How can I block such ads? Whenever I click on the links, pop-under ads will be activated. How can I block these ads? I have been looking for extensions but could not find anything that really works. Thank you.

In Firefox, Adblock Plus eliminates all ads from pages I visit including pop-unders. There is a version for Chrome which you can try.

Download the Chrome version of the extension from here.

There are a few ads that are allowed by the extension for certain reasons. They can, however, be easily added to the list of ads to be blocked.

Adblock Plus for Chrome blocks some popups, but not those from tripadvisor. Both from my experience and from what other people say. Very strange. – Nikita Rybak – 2016-12-18T12:02:10.683

We operate a Popunder traffic network and although most users to our sites like the service (it's a non intrusive popunder that has a bounce of just around 30% or so), Adblock Plus does it for those who do not like it.

Other answers have already mentioned Adblock Plus, so this is redundant. – Ian Dunn – 2017-04-12T18:10:09.343

Bounce rate only includes users who notice the ad right away and decide it's worth the trouble to close immediately and have the dexterity and skill to switch windows and close it quickly --- ergo those who weren't tricked because they're tech savvy. If you want to measure success, you have to talk about the click-through rate. (But, you knew that already, right?) – jpaugh – 2018-07-27T16:08:35.260
