Hi Sjeversman,
If you are getting pop-up adds in Safari, follow About pop-up ads and windows in Safari.
Note: "Pop-ups and ads in Safari
If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.
Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble the close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you're unsure, avoid interacting with the pop-up or ad and close the Safari window or tab."
If it persists, you can also follow If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
"Clear website data
You can clear website data occasionally to improve Safari performance.
- Go to Settings > Safari.
- Tap Clear History and Website Data.
- Tap Clear History and Data to confirm."
Take care
