Blocking pop-ups in Chrome
Chrome is rather quick and has a broad variety of extra features to make browsing more enjoyable. Here’s how, when using Chrome, to prevent pop-ups:
1. Enter “chrome://settings/content/” in the address bar.
2. Look for the “Pop-ups” option in the next tab, which should be down somewhere. You have a choice between two options: either let websites display them or prohibit them from doing so.
3. You may handle exceptions in the same tab to let some websites show them or prohibit them.
Users of portable devices powered by Android will experience a somewhat different procedure:
Open the settings menu in Chrome for mobile.
Go to the “Site settings” submenu under the “Content” menu option.
Look for a separate listing called “Pop-ups” and turn it off.

1. Click the icon that looks like a streamlined gear.
2. Navigate to the internet-related area of the menu.
