Adverts causing crashes and freezes

Some of the banner ads at the top of the page when using chrome on an Android (specifications in one of the images below) are causing regular freezes which crash chrome.

The page is fine when it first opens because the ad hasn't loaded yet, then once the ad has loaded the screen freezes and you can only escape by shutting down chrome and restarting.

I have started taking screenshots of the Ads that cause this in case its a specific feature of those particular adverts because it doesn't happen every time. Will add further images to this thread as long as it continues
