I don't know how effective or safe it is, but you don't need to pay for what is basically an adblocker when you can get one for free.
For Safari:
For Firefox or Chrome
Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin. With ABP, you will need to install filter subscriptions, EasyPrivacy/EasyList. There are others https://adblockplus.org/subscriptions
Firefox
uBlock Origin Firefox, Chrome
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcph jbkeiagm?hl=en
Note: if you use ABP, go to Filter Subscriptions and uncheck the default "Allow some non-intrusive advertising."
In Safari>Preferences>Security, be sure to check "Block pop-up windows."
