Are you using Facebook app or regular browser?

You can try Adguard possible it might work ...I don't have Facebook left that long time ago though I'm sure they are still tracking

I only see those "you have won..." "you are the one million shopper..." type of popups on suspicious and or malicious websites. I didn't not think you can stop them, other than avoiding those websites. I doubt you saw that on facebook.com or in the Facebook app.

It's on random articles in the Facebook up. You click the article and it opens up to read but once you start scrolling through it pops up an says you win and please fill out a survey it's wicked anoying. I think it's embedded popups In the ads on the page .

If you are using Chrome browser, just add the adguard extension. Adguard works too but you have to pay for it after a 7 day trial.

I'm not sure if it will work on the app ...I remembered using an ad blocker on a previous phone while ago that helped on the apps ...can't remember now of course ...

SMYDSMITH, I used to have the same problem on Facebook. I recommend you stop clicking ad, game, and survey links directly. Look up the companies online using Yahoo! instead--Google sells all information they get.

Didn't click a like I just click a news item in Facebook or random post and sometimes almost like on a timer it pops up with spam and doesn't let you read the article

Yes, I forgot about that. *Any* link could lead to those popups. If it happens with a news article, go to the news organization Website and search.

Clicking a link to go to what you "think" is a legitimate article is where the problem lies. You can't block these ads because they are not true ads as you expect. As stated....if you don't know the authenticity of the link, don't click it.

Agreed. There is a lot of clickbait on Facebook. It is *still* a hacker’s playground.

To turn off ads based on your relationship status, employer, job title or education:

• Open Facebook and navigate to the main menu. Select Settings in the Settings & Privacy dropdown.
• Scroll down to the Ads section and select Ad Preferences.
• Select Your information and deactivate any of the profile fields listed to stop ads based on these categories.

To stop ads based on data from advertisers, offline interactions (like purchases, your use of partner websites or apps) and your activity on Facebook Company Products:

• Navigate back to the Ad Preferences menu and choose Ad settings.
• Click on Ads based on data from partner or Ads based on your activity on Facebook Company Products that you see elsewhere.
• Select No to deactivate these ad influencers.

These instructions aren’t universal to every social media platform, but making these changes on a player like Facebook could actually take care of a good bit of your ad targeting problems.

But I just want to block popup ads that come from random articles in news feed I don't think Facebook settings effect but Facebook should add a pop-up blocker to the Facebook browser window that open when you click an article
