popup blocker

Hi.

I would go it your extensions and remove whatever you installed to block popups. Chrome will do this on its own.


Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Scroll down to Pop up and redirects > click > set to prevent.


As to an ad blocker, we really don't talk about ad blockers. uBlock origin is very good.

I recommend/use faithfully Ublock Origin and Adblock Plus.

If you're using these, any popups are not that sort of popups, per se, and you should be looking elsewhere. Note that occassionally some sites may be breached (albeit temporarily) and the popups are benign unless clicked on

i have to let u block allow it

Nope, no point in using an adblocker add-on/extension if you're going to bypass by giving permission. AFAIC those 2 adblockers serve a purpose and should be respected.

Adblockers can be browser dependent, some block ANY popup (e.g. bank logon). No one size fits all, you need to choose a browser to suit purpose, quite often more than one browser for multiple purposes

Not that I would suggest you go to my extent - Brave (default), Opera, Vivaldi, Firefox, and more lately LibreWolf. All serve a different function and have their own unique set of bookmarks/favourites. Note that that abomination Edge doesn't come into tyhe conversation anywhere!!!

u block did not like my dr. website or mychart from the hospital. so before you spout off about bypassing ask what people may have to bypass. also it did not like lowes menards walmart my bank or credit union

I assume you're talking about the payment portal/window for each of these sites?

I too have multiple sites that don't work properly in some browsers, but do work perfectly in other browsers with the same add-ons. It's puzzling I admit, considering most browser are all either chromium based or Firefox style based. Why some addons are over zealous with some browsers and not others .... Meh!

One thing to watch is the difference between a pop up and a notification from a site.


I've seen Chrome installations where people inadvertently allow notifications from a site. They come out from the lower right corner repeatedly from some sites, almost to the point of making Chrome unusable if enough sites allowed. Could be confused for a "Pop up"
