Google pop up ads?

[CriStel]

Within the last week or so I started getting random pop up ads on my phone. They don't appear in any specific app, I've gotten them while checking email, sending texts, browsing Facebook, etc... I keep getting one for myweatherupdatenow.com and most recently Slip 700 Series tripods. Just random stuff from sites I've never been to before. There is an AdChoice button in the lower corner and when I clicked on it, these appear to be Google generated ads. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or not but this seems to have started when I upgraded to Android pie. is anyone else having this issue? I've been researching for days on how to stop this from happening but I can't figure it out. Help??

Install an ad blocker, such as Adguard from the play store. Works on chrome browser as well

These ads could be fed from a rogue app, try AppWatch to see if you can locate the culprit:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tafayor.appwatch

Usage
✓ Turn on the switch "Start monitoring"
✓ Exit the app and start using your phone normally
✓ When a pop-up ad randomly appears on your screen; Open AppWatch from the notification bar , and you will find in the activity log the latest launched app, which should normally be the app who showed the annoying ads

nice!!!!! that's a good one to use. i need this on my mom's phone. she's always downloading some game and somehow selects another game via the popup ads and next thing she knows these popup ads have taken over her phone. i had to go one by one to figure it out.

I used this method on a different phone with the same OS version.
