This article explains how to disable Chrome’s pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups on some sites or every website.

How to Allow Pop-ups in Chrome

Chrome enables the built-in pop-up blocker automatically, but it can be disabled at any time to allow pop-ups universally or on a per-site basis. Follow these steps to disable the pop-up blocker for every website at once:

1. Select the three dots in the corner of the browser to open the menu, and then choose Settings.

2. Select Privacy and security on the left, and then Site settings on the right.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Pop-ups and redirects.

4. Select Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects to turn off Chrome’s pop-up blocker.

How to Allow or Block Pop-ups on Certain Sites

If you prefer to control pop-ups for specific sites so that only certain ones can send them, you can do that by adding exceptions.

1. Open Chrome Settings to Privacy and security > Site settings > Pop-ups and redirects.

2. Select Add next to Not allowed to send pop-ups or use redirects to block a specific site from sending pop-ups.

   To allow pop-ups from a certain site, select the Add button next to Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects.

3. Enter the website’s URL into the box and then select Add to save.

The other way to do this is through some of the buttons along the top of Chrome.

If a website is trying to send you a pop-up but it’s not showing up, you should see a Pop-up blocked message to the right of the URL. Select that button and then choose the Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [URL] to disable the pop-up blocker for that website.

How to Remove Pop-up Blocker Site Exceptions in Chrome

If you change your mind about site exceptions, you can remove them at any time. Here’s how:

1. Return to Chrome’s pop-up blocker settings here: three dots > Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Pop-ups and redirects.

2. Scroll down to the Customized behaviors section.

3. Locate the site from the blocked or allowed list and then select the three dots to the right.

4. Choose Remove to delete the exception.
