How do I disable a pop-up blocker on Google Chrome?

By default, Google Chrome 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.

If you still get pop-ups after disabling them:

• You may have previously subscribed to receive notifications from a site. You can block notifications if you don’t want any communications from a site to show up on your screen. Learn how to manage your notifications.
• Your computer or phone may be infected by malware. Learn how to get rid of malware.

Change your default pop-ups & redirects settings

2. At the top right, click More > Settings.
3. Click Privacy and security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects.
4. Choose the option that you want as your default setting.

Manage pop-ups & redirects for a specific site

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