How to turn off popup blocker in Chrome
If you’ve had a popup blocked by Chrome, you’ll see the blocked pop-up alert in the right hand side of your browser bar. It looks like this:
To allow popups for the site you’re currently visiting, do the following steps:
- Click the icon in your browser bar – this one
- Click the link relating to the popup in the site you’d like to see (you might have more than one showing here)
- To always allow popups for this site, select “Always shop pop-ups from…” (it should show the domain name)
Step 3 will mean you’ll never see this warning again on this browser for this site.
Pro-actively pre-allow popups for a site
If you want to allow popups before you get one blocked, ahead of time, then do the following:
- Click the 3 dots in the top right of your Chrome browser
- Select the “Settings” option
- Click on “Show advanced settings”
- Click “Privacy” then select “Content Settings”
- In the “pop-ups” area, select “Do not allow any site to show pop-ups” (this disables them generally)
- Then click “manage exceptions”
- Type in the domain of the site you’d like to allow pop-ups from – for example, to allow anything from SiliconDales.com, type: “silicondales.com”
That’s it!
