Use a VPN and disable any suspicious-looking app from using your data and WiFi, block access to untrusted sites (this'll prevent them from popping up when browsing or not).

If above doesn't work, root your device and maybe flash any GSI of choice PE, LOS or any GSI of choice. Note that Pixel Experience works with less issues if no ROM is complied for your device (or you can recompile any ROM yourself or have a computer programmer/coder do it as they're open source and codes are on GitHub).

That's the point.

On Transsion devices, there's no option to turn off ads. In fact if you do manage to turn them off, HiOS or XoS has software embedded in it's code to turn them back on.

"Price skimming involves initially charging the highest price your market will accept for your product, then lowering it over time. The logic behind this is that you attempt to “skim” off the top market segment to which you appeal, at the time when your product is freshest, thereby maximizing your profit early on."
