I use Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome as web browsers. But when i open it, a lot of unwanted advertisement pop ups and other windows would be opened.To close each and every pop ups and windows is a ridiculous and time consuming job.It makes my system slow. I tried to block it by blocking pop ups , plug ins and java scripts. If i block these pop ups….in some necessary situations (internet banking,railway ticket booking…) it will give me a negative result.I have given some exceptions (bank website) in pop ups blocking.Still the problem exists. How can i overcome this?

OPTION 1 - Block it yourself
Go to a site, get a popup.
Click the AdBlock extension button on the toolbar, and select "Block an ad on this page"
Show it the ad, and it get the following window:
The id and name elements, while containing the text google_ads also contain data specific to this page. To make this blocking rule more general, I unticked those, leaving type and class, because IFRAMEs are hardly used any more, and one that is supposed to actively hide is pretty suspicious.
We'll see how that goes in the future. It should filter a few ads at least.
OPTION 2 - Edit your own rules
You can go into the AdBlock Customise tab, and manually edit your filters.
You'll see the ad we blocked in Option 1 (if you tried it) as:
www.wired.com##IFRAME[class="active hide-mob"]
We can make it more general using the google_ads text we saw earlier, and remove the limitation to Wired (note the * to make the text match less specific):
*##IFRAME[id*="google_ads"]
OPTION 3 - Let someone else block it
Click on the AdBlock button in your tool bar, and go to options. There is a list of filters currently applied. One that is not ticked by default is described as:
Fanboy's Annoyances (blocks in-page pop-ups, social media and related widgets, and other annoyances)
Try turning this on and see if it helps
