This as just started happening and it's pages and pages. How do I stop this.
I just want normal statements regarding my questions.
Anyone have any ideas why it's started happening could it be something I have done?
Thanks

I'm sure I answered this suggesting you search using DuckDuckGo instead, but perhaps my reply got lost somewhere? grin duckduckgo.com

Perhaps this link will help to answer your question - support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

I also use DuckDuckGo as a search engine, it works well with Chrome and Safari.

Just install Adblock Plus - it's free and prevents all those annoying pop-ups from anywhere.
