A couple of weeks ago, I started getting pop windows while navigating various websites. These are not ads. They are condensed versions of the website that I am viewing. In many cases they prevent me from selecting options. I cannot stop them by going to safari and preferences. The only thing different I have done is add windows to my MacBook Pro about two weeks ago.

John,
Thank you for replying. I think I figured this out. I looks to me that the window that is coming on my screen is a reader and not a pop up window. I had no idea. I went to the preferences and saw that settings for Automatic Reader is on for all my websites. I have no idea how this happened. I turned the reader off and "poof" no more windows.
Thank you
George

I understand these are not advertisements, but I am having trouble understanding what's going on with that Mac.
Despite the implications of its title see if any of the following is helpful: About pop-up ads and windows in Safari - Apple Support. If not, please write back.

You're welcome George.
