How do I stop the popup ads from hoping up everywhere?

Everytime I go on Safari, and open a webpage I go and start reading the article I want to read and next thing you know up pops an App or a game and my article I was trying to read is nowhere to be found! This is absolutely as frustrating as I can possibly get!! I can't read anything ever, because of the Apps and games popping up everywhere!! What can I do to stop this from happening?? This is not a good quality user experience with Apple products I'm having and am thinking about going back Android because even though the user experience isn't that much better there, its at least better than this pop up crap happening everytime I'm on Safari trying to read. Please help? Please? I already have block pop ups checked in preferences so I don't know how else this can be prevented?


Thank you ANYONE whom can help me eliminate this from happening anymore?
