Enable pop-ups in Google Chrome
Pop-ups used to be the bane of internet browsing. They’d come at you from every
angle and refuse to budge. Closing them was a fruitless endeavor. Years have
passed since those dark times, and virtually all browsers disable pop-ups by default.
Chrome is no exception. Sometimes you need pop-ups though, so follow this guide to
allow them for the sites you trust.
1
Click the Chrome menu (☰). This is found in the top-right corner of the Chrome
browser. Click "Settings" towards the bottom of the menu. This will open a new tab in
your Chrome window which will allow you to adjust the browser settings.

Scroll down to the "Pop-ups" section. By default, Chrome does not allow any sites
to use pop-ups for security reasons. Pop-ups can make your computer susceptible to
virus infection, and some sites make them very difficult to close. You can change it to
allow all sites to use pop-ups, but this is not recommended. Instead, if you need popups for specific sites, they should be enabled one by one.

Add sites to your exceptions list. Click the Manage exceptions.. button. In the
"Hostname pattern" column, enter the website that you want to allow pop-ups from.
Make sure that the drop-down menu next to the entry is set to "Allow". When you are
done adding websites, click Done.[1]
Only enable pop-ups from sites that you trust.

Close the Settings tab. Reload the web page to let the new settings take effect. If
the pop-ups will still not load, make sure that any extensions you may have
installedare not blocking them as well. If they are, add the website you want to allow
to that extension as well or disable the extension.
WARNINGS
When you allow pop-ups on Google Chrome your computer may slow down or freeze
(stop functioning). Some pop-ups can contain animation or videos that automatically
start playing when the pop-up opens. This hogs your Internet speed and computer
hardware causing slow web browsing or possible operating system crashes.
