Although the advertising It is normal in our Macbecause almost all pages have it, it is true that, sometimes, we receive more than the desired one, either through notifications that we have accepted when accessing a site, as of emerging advertising windows that did not come out before.
Today we will see how to eliminate, as far as possible, any notification or advertising that can spoil fluid navigation. It is simple, so if you use Safariin just a few seconds you can have everything again as the first day.
Types of advertising and notifications
We will have to differentiate between the types of discomfort we have, because some, as we said, will be typical of websites and cannot be eliminated, while others will restrict them easily
- Websites with aggressive ads: Some pages show many emerging windows. If this occurs in specific places, try to avoid them, since, natively, they are like that. It usually happens on pages to see piracy, or download content.
- Activated web notifications: You may have accepted notifications of certain websites that now send you advertising. When you first access, you will see a box to allow, if you give it, you have already lied it.
- Suspicious extensions: If you have extensions installed in Safari, some could be showing unwanted ads, taking advantage to earn money with your navigation.
- Malware or adware: If the problem persists in several pages, your device could be infected with some type of adware, which could be a simple extension that would have to be reviewed.
How to eliminate them
There are a number of steps that we can follow to leave the browser as the first day, or, at least, select which places we want to receive, and what places do not.
- Block emerging windows: Go to Settings> Safari and active “block emerging windows.”
- Eliminate navigation data: Go to Settings> Safari> Delete history and website data.
- Check extensions: In Safari> Configuration> Extensionsdeactivate any suspicious extension.
- See allowed notifications: In Settings> Notifications> Safaricheck if there are unwanted sites by sending notifications.
- Use an advertisement blocker: You can install an advertisement blocker or 1BLOCKER.
- Scan the device: If you still have problems, you can look for an antivirus that analyzes your computer, since you could have an internal malware that affects the entire system, and that is not guilt only of safari.
After doing all this, your Mac and Safari should go much better, avoiding opening unwanted windows, as well as receiving any more annoying notifications that you activated from a website the first time you entered, and you don't remember.
This applies to Other browsers like Google Chromewhere the adjustments are very similar, and although it will not be in the same exact way, it will be similar, so you can look for it if you also want to remove that annoying advertising in them, where sometimes, it is even greater, because it has more extensions and configurations that could cause it.
