If you want to open a pop-up from a par­tic­u­lar web­site, you can solve your prob­lem by allow­ing that web­site. You can also allow each web­site to show the ads, or redi­rect in a new tab. Fol­low the instruc­tions to unblock the pop­up in Chrome on the desk­top:

1. Open the menu by click­ing on the three dots on the right side. You can also press the ALT+F short keys to open the menu direct­ly.

2. Scroll down and open the set­tings which can be found at the end of the menu items.

3. On the left side menu items, look for “Pri­va­cy and secu­ri­ty” and click on it.

4. Scroll Down and look for “Site set­tings” under Pri­va­cy and Secu­ri­ty set­tings.

5. Now, scroll down until the “Con­tent” sec­tion appears. Look for “Pop-ups and redi­rects” and click on it.

6. Now, all pop-up set­tings will be opened and you can change it accord­ing it to your need. If you want to allow only a spe­cif­ic web­site to open a pop­up tab to fill in the infor­ma­tion then click on the sec­ond “Add” but­ton and enter the web­site URL in it. It will be whitelist­ed and all redi­rects and pop­ups will be unblocked.

If you want to enable all web­sites then you can select “Default Behav­ior” from which you have to check the first option. This will cause you to face pop-ups and redi­rects on open­ing any web­site which can be some­what dan­ger­ous. There­fore, I would advise you that if you want to keep these set­tings active under any com­pul­sion, then you should only open trust­ed web­sites.

Block Popup in Chrome using custom settings

In these set­tings, you can also block pop-up web­sites. For this, you have to turn on the first set­tings of cus­tomized behav­ior where you have to add the web­sites that you want to block from get­ting pop­ups.

Many peo­ple use some exten­sions in Google Chrome like Ad block­er etc. With such an exten­sion, you will not face ads or redi­rects. If using these set­tings does­n’t solve your prob­lem, delete your exten­sions after which redi­rects and pop­ups will start appear­ing.

Many web­sites where you need to add data like bank­ing apps, social apps, or online forms etc. open a new tab as a pop­up to enter infor­ma­tion or log in. This is most­ly done to increase secu­ri­ty and to keep the data safe so that no app or cook­ies in the brows­er can see the data.

Many peo­ple face this prob­lem which they do not know how to fix. Adblock­er apps, whether on mobile or desk­top, block pop­ups as ad virus­es or push attacks. You should always try to use Default set­tings to avoid these prob­lems.
