How to block pop-ups in Chrome?

Answer

Blocking pop-ups in the Google Chrome browser is an important step to ensure comfortable and safe web surfing. Annoying ads and unwanted redirects not only distract attention, but can also pose a security threat to your device, which is why developers have provided a simple built-in protection tool.

To configure blocking, you need to follow a few simple steps through the main program menu. First, open the browser and click on the three vertical dots icon located in the upper right corner of the window, then select Settings from the drop-down list.

Go to the Privacy and security section in the left sidebar or scroll down the page.
Find the Site settings subsection and click it to open detailed permission management.
Scroll through the options list to Pop-ups and redirects and open it.
Set the radio button to Don't allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects.

If certain trusted resources still need to open pop-ups for correct operation, such as personal banking accounts or payment systems, you can add them to the exceptions list. To do this, in the same menu, find the Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects block, click the Add button, and enter the URL of the desired site.
