How can I stop pop-up ads from popping up on my tablet

[Android Central Question]

Ads pop up on my tablet when I am playing a game, online,or on my desktop. If I try to turn them off they say that I won't collect my reward. I have never collected any rewards that I know of. I just want them to stop.

Welcome to the forums. Do you have any app by Cheetah Mobile installed in your phone (CM Keyboard, Clean Master ...)? If so uninstall them and see if you still get those ads.

No I don't have any Cheetah Mobile apps installed in my tablet. When they started that morning I had been going through texts on my phone, looking up the websites on my tablet.

In my experience the fastest way to identify the cause is using the developer options.

Ads are getting worse, as if possible. The app Blockada is a decent 'firewall' from many of these pop-ups. Also, go through all your settings and make sure that you are configured to not receive marketing from anything you have installed. Most apps now default you in, and if you do not go through all the settings initially, you may get layers of ads. Good luck.
