    To block pop-up ads and news pop-ups in Microsoft Edge, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.
    2. Click on the ellipsis (...) in the upper-right corner to access the menu.
    3. Select Settings.
    4. Go to Site permissions.
    5. Click on Pop-ups and redirects.
    6. Toggle the setting to Block to prevent pop-ups from appearing.

    For Google Chrome, the steps are similar:

    1. Open Google Chrome.
    2. Click on the three dots in the top-right corner and select Settings.
    3. Go to Privacy and security.
    4. Click on Site Settings.
    5. Scroll down to Pop-ups and redirects and set it to Don’t allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects.

    By following these steps in both browsers, you should be able to effectively block unwanted pop-ups.

    Hello

    Depends how the pop up shows up. If they are in the middle of the page, the AI Answer covers that.

    If it comes from the lower right corner, you want to also go to places below:

    For Edge, go to this link:

    edge://settings/privacy/sitePermissions/allPermissions/notifications

    Then select "ask before sending"

    For Chrome, go to this link and do the same

    chrome://settings/content/notifications?search=Notification
