How to Enable Pop Ups on Google Chrome.
Here we are tackling a common browser question: how to enable pop-ups and redirects on Google Chrome.
A quick but important reminder: while enabling pop-ups can be necessary for certain websites, it's crucial to use this feature with caution due to potential security risks from less trustworthy sites.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome Browser
Launch your Google Chrome browser on your device.
Ensure you're on the main Chrome window.
Step 2: Access Chrome Settings
Click on the three vertical dots (menu icon) located in the top-right corner of the browser window.
From the dropdown menu, select "Settings".
Step 3: Navigate to Privacy and Security
In the Settings menu, scroll down or use the search bar to find "Privacy and security".
Click on "Privacy and security" to expand the options.
Step 4: Open Site Settings
Within "Privacy and security", locate and click on "Site Settings".
This section controls permissions for websites, including pop-ups.
Step 5: Find Pop-Ups and Redirects Settings
Scroll down to find "Pop-ups and redirects".
Click on it to access the pop-up settings.
Step 6: Enable Pop-Ups
You'll see a toggle switch labeled "Blocked (recommended)".
Click the toggle to switch it to "Allowed".
Alternatively, you can add specific sites to the "Allow" list by clicking "Add" next to "Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects" and entering the website URL.
Step 7: Verify the Change
Visit the website where you want to enable pop-ups.
Ensure that pop-ups are now allowed and functioning properly.
Additional Tips:
Managing exceptions: Use the "Add" button to allow pop-ups for trusted sites while keeping others blocked.
Troubleshooting: If pop-ups still don't work, double-check the site-specific permissions or disable extensions that might block pop-ups.
Summary:
Enabling pop-ups involves navigating through Chrome's Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects, then toggling the switch to "Allowed". This quick process ensures you can access all website features without interruption.
