What browser are you using? What site(s) do you get most trouble with the ads?

Firefox has addons that you can install to help stop ads, most browsers have pop-up blockers (tho' they're not always 100% efficient).

Edge in the Anniversary update to Windows 10 will come with Adblock, should be released early August

Just download Adblock Plus, it works for me, although I cannot read the Telegraph any more.

if you click on ABP, it gives you the option to 'Disable on this page only', you could try that.

Or you could install the MVPS Hosts file. Works across all browsers you might have installed, including Edge, and makes separate ad-blockers unnecessary.

Just unzip the downloaded file and run MVPS.bat as administrator. It gets an update every couple of months.

The only issue with this solution is that there is no very simple way of whitelisting a site that won't run with ads blocked that you want to view.

As well as adblock plus extensions such as ghostery block adverts and there is an option to do so in the Opera browser settings.
