    I've been getting a lot of pop up on my Galaxy S 5 phone.
    I've been getting pop up from "info link".

    Can anyone recommend a pop up blocker app?

    I currently have the " look up" App.

    The pop up has been popping up every time I go to another support forum.

    I fixed the problem. All I had to do was clear the cache.

    maybe your device was infected with malware or adware, i can't understand how some apps like that are still available on Google Play store. Google had better scanning apps before install them on our device. i've heard that there are 40 apps/games on google Play Store contain malware. So astonishing.
    For normal purpose, you can install ad blocker or safe browser to reduce the risk. I know there're 2 apps recommended by Xda developer forum:
    -Free Adblocker Browser
    Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser (apk if you can't install:Download Free Adblocker Browser for PC - choilieng.com)
    -Adguard Content Blocker
    Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adguard.android.contentblocker( apk: Download Adguard Content Blocker for PC - choilieng.com) this developer also launch an adblock app (within-app) but it's against google policy so it's not available on Play Store, if you're interested, visit their official site.

    Oh man, don't we all? The number of mobile ads that get flashed in my face on my phone is ridiculous. It makes using a laptop with an adblocker way more enjoyable. As far as I can tell, the industry just loves that you can't avoid the ads on you're phone, it's more money for them.
