You can admit that some sites (like a Mediumhighquality.com) use you pop-up ads.

Mediumhighquality.com Pop-Ups Are Not So Safe

And, besides unwanted Mediumhighquality.com pop-ups from the unknown source, you can simultaneously see a great deal of promotions, including ones on the web pages which at first have no ads at all.

Besides banner ads, your web browser can also show you a big number of different Mediumhighquality.com pop-up promotions, which come into view in the bottom right corner.
