Disable Google Vignette ads on Chrome

Question

I'm currently working on website automation using Robot Framework and Selenium. The problem is that the Google Vignette ads always come up, and that makes my test case fail. Do you guys have any solutions to this problem?

By the way, I also tried to add this option, but it still doesn't work.
