But things like ads and popups could be disturbing when we are browsing the Internet on our iDevice using Safari. If you want a more comfortable web browsing experience, try using an ad blocker app. But before you start to look for the best iOS ad blocker, you can first enable the pop-up blocker in Safari. <\/p>\n<p>When popups bother a lot of iPhone users, Apple didn\u2019t just leave it like that. Instead, the company threw in an option called Block Pop-ups in Safari that\u2019s supposed to help users block pop-ups from websites. It might not be able to block all the popups as you\u2019d think it can, but it does help prevent certain popups from interrupting you. So before you try any of the pop-up blocker apps out there, have this option enabled in Safari first.<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: Why There are So Many Ads on Safari<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: How to Block Ads and Popups on Safari<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part3\">Part 3: 3 Best Ad Blockers for iPhone<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part4\">Part 4: How to Recover Mistakenly Deleted Safari Bookmarks from iOS Device<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part1\"><strong>Part 1:  Why There are So Many Ads on Safari<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you are browsing every website on Safari, the pop-up ads appear unexpectedly to disturb your reading, that always means your web browser is possibly affected by adware.
