popup ad
Unwanted browser window
A popup ad is an advertisement that appears in a new browser window or overlay, interrupting whatever you were doing online.
Popups became so reviled in the early 2000s that browsers added blockers as standard features.
The term extends to any intrusive ad that suddenly appears on screen: I couldn't read the article through all the popup ads.
