I don't use Google Chrome.
Chrome has a program called AdBlock.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en
You can google for the download.
I dislike and distrust Cnet.com and Softonic.com.
Adding : Watch out for Conduit if you use the above 2 sites for downloads.

As an aside, I use AdBlock on Firefox. It works well. It also has filter and disable options, as well as the ability to open blockable items.
