Choose whether to have the pop-up blocker on or off.

At the top right, click on the three-dot menu and then Settings.

If you want to block all pop-ups, then you will want to select the “ Don’t allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects” option.

To manage your default Chrome pop-up and redirect settings, open Chrome, and at the top right click on “ More” and then “ Settings.” On the settings page, click on the “ Privacy and security” section found on the left, then select “ Site Settings.” This will take you to another section where you will scroll all the way down until you see “ Pop-ups and redirects.” Click on this option and select whether you want to allow pop-ups or not.

In the guide below, I will show you how to choose your default pop-up & redirect settings in Chrome and how to manage pop-ups and redirects for a specific site. However, some popups do manage to get through and usually have to do with the settings of the site you are visiting. You may have noticed a small notification in the address bar that says “Pop-up blocked,” which is basically Chrome working its magic and preventing a pop-up from opening. The Google Chrome browser by default automatically prevents pop-ups from appearing.
