How to block pop-ups in Safari
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

Try the suggestions at those links (probably the Apple support one first). I haven't experienced that issue, so I can't offer first hand advice. However, I would recommend getting the iCab Mobile browser. It has an ad-blocker and a load of useful features if you're a tech person - although it is somewhat overly complicated for typical browsing. For people that really want options and control, it is one of the best browsers for iOS.

You might also want to post this in the DU Apple Users group.

Thank you, was able to cross-post NotASurfer Jul 2019 #8

Since a few people seem to be having the same issue, I would guess it is related to the ads here. Make7 Jul 2019 #9
