When you’re sitting down for a break with some of the best PC games on Steam, the last thing you want is something getting in your way. Pop-ups have been the bane of our existence on the web for decades, and they’ve even found a way to infiltrate our gaming platforms. Every time you boot up Steam, you’re greeted with a second window advertising the next big upcoming game. Sure, sometimes that’s interesting, but usually you would rather just get to playing. Here’s how you can disable Steam pop-up ads for good.
