Block popups.


1. “Force Quit” Safari.


     Press these three keys together: Option, Command, and Esc (Escape).

2.If your Mac doesn't shut down, try Force Quit to close any apps that aren't responding

   If that doesn't work, press and hold the power button until the Mac turns off.

   Press and hold the power button to turn off your Mac only if it isn't responding. 

   You'll lose unsaved changes to any documents that you have open.

4. Block pop-ups when you see pop-ups.
