Hello
 
As most surfers do not like banner ads, some web brewers take the opportunity to offer options to disable pop-ups or block images from selected websites. Followings are specific ways to block banner ads in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Turn on Pop-up Blocker in Internet Explorer

1. Open your Internet Explorer.

2. Navigate to top menu and select Tools. On the drop-down list, please click on Internet Options.

3. Switch to Privacy tab on the Internet Options window.

4. Tick the “Turn on Pop-up Blocker” to prevent a particular unwanted website from appearing on your browser.

If you want to allow banner ads on specific website, please click on the "Settings" button to exclude a website.

For Firefox please go here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting#w_pop-up-blocke...
 
For Chrome :
1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Click on the Wrench icon to top-right corner of the browser and on the drop-down list, please select Settings to display present configuration of Google Chrome.

3. Scroll downloads and locate the Privacy area and click on Content settings button. It will open a new window.

4. Go to the Pop-ups area and tick on “Do not allow any site to show pop-ups (recommended)”.

To allow pop-ups from certain web sites, click on Manage exceptions and add the website address.

Use web browser extensions or add-ons to block banners

Also to help with these issues it's best to install an Ad Blocker for your Browsers:
