Is it possible to block pop-ups?

It seems inconceivable that a built on privacy and blocking ads would not have a pop-up blocker, but if this browser has one, I can't find it.
So if I follow a link to a news article on PBS, I get a pop-up graying out the page asking if "X is my local PBS station", where X is based on the carrier-assigned ip address (which can be hundreds of miles away), and oodles of sites giving me the odious opportunity to subscribe to push notifications (why in hell are they a good idea?) and other annoying crap that Brave is happy to hide from me.
How do I block the pop-ups?
