Is it just me getting these really annoying popups bottom right of my screen. Started a few weeks ago and only when browser is open. I don't even use Google ffs as I use DDG.

Can they be zapped?

Screenshot?

Suspect you've been infected by a nasty of some kind. Have you run e.g. malwarebytes?

I'd suggest:
1. uBlock origin - if the popups don't stop then you need to:
2. Run a malwarebytes scan

I use a combination of uBlock origin, malwarebytes and a raspberry pi with pi.hole installed and haven't seen an advert for years - highly recommended.

Another vote for a Raspberry pi with piHole on it. We don't get ads in our house full stop.

I have ESET so wouldn't have thought it a "bug". Will screenshot it.

If the OP cant figure out whats causing the popup what chances has he got of setting up and running Rapsberry Pi with piHole on it.

I assume you're using Chrome and have allowed some websites to give you 'notifications'
