Pop up Window driving me crazy!!!

Is anyone else getting a very annoying pop up window "boost your vocabulary" ? It comes up every few seconds when I am browsing this site. Really irritating and does not encourage me to visit the site any more!

Have you tried adblocker ? - ray76, Jun 22, 2017
Are you blocking cookies? Surfing anonymously (e.g. "private browsing" in Firefox)? I suspect that you won't see that popup if the site knows that you don't want to. - jtaniel, Jun 22, 2017

It is not a commercial ad, but a window promoting the Word of the day, so belongs to this site.

What browser are you using? - Nickelbackfan1, Jun 22, 2017
Firefox and Safari - both have this annoying window pop up - margarita1943, Jun 22, 2017
Use adblock or adguard which is the same. :) - rac1, Jun 22, 2017
This is not a commercial ad. It is a window from this site. Will adblock work for that? - margarita1943, Jun 22, 2017
Yes it will margarita , I use firefox and safari with adguard and do not have the pop up. - ray76, Jun 22, 2017
Thanks I'll look into it. - margarita1943, Jun 22, 2017
