Google pop-up ads on CVP site[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Sorry, I guess I meant footer (i.e. not pop-up, I guess I don't understand that term - smallish ads appear sneakily from bottom, going upward on my screen). Maybe I thought it was a new trend by Google (and it's not?), but it seemed the footer ads appear especially when I am on my own game logs page.

The footer ads take up enough space (and my attention), at least today, that I wanted to get rid of them (maybe I'm just in a poor mood?), so I started trying to by clicking on the ads' small 'x' in the upper right of their 'box' - a never-ending exercise it seems, as ads (always say they are Google ads) are soon replaced by different ads.

Last week I went to a NY Post horoscope page that was evidently infected in some sort of way, but my Microsoft Defender later detected no fresh threats to my laptop. Since then, the only thing that might have changed, I thought, was detectible on this CVP site, but I guess I was wrong if footers are usual (I paid them no notice earlier, if they were appearing for a while now).
