Block or allow pop-ups in Chromium

By default, Chromium blocks pop-ups from automatically showing up on your screen. When a pop-up is blocked, the address bar will be marked Pop-up blocked. You can also decide to allow pop-ups.

Turn pop-ups on or off

  1. Open Chromium.
  2. At the top right, click **More ** > Settings.
  3. Under “Privacy and security,” click Site settings.
  4. Click Pop-ups and redirects.
  5. At the top, turn the setting to Allowed or Blocked.

Block or allow pop-ups from a specific site

Not all pop-ups are ads or spam. Some legitimate websites display web content in pop-up windows.

Allow pop-ups from a site

  1. Open Chromium.
  2. Go to a page where pop-ups are blocked.
  3. In the address bar, click Pop-up blocked.
  4. Click the link for the pop-up you want to see.
  5. To always see pop-ups for the site, select Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [site] > Done.
