Generally we try to avoid pop-ups, but there are times you need to let them through. Here’s how to do that.
Are you facing issues with a website on macOS because your browser is blocking pop-ups for it? Luckily, you can disable the pop-up blocker in major browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on your machine. Once the blockers are disabled, any sites you open in these browsers will be allowed to launch pop-up windows. You also have the option to enable pop-ups just for certain sites on your Mac. Which Type of Pop-Up Are We Talking About?A pop-up is a small window that either opens automatically when you are on a website or opens when you click a link on the site. Shopping sites, discount sites, and such other sites often launch pop-up windows to grab your attention. You shouldn’t confuse these website pop-ups with the tiny notifications that you see on your Mac. Those notifications are generated by your system or your installed apps. They have nothing to do with the pop-ups you see in your browsers. How to Allow Pop-Ups in Safari on MacIt’s easy to disable the pop-up blocker on the default Safari browser for Mac. All you have to do is head into a settings menu and change an option there to turn off the pop-up blocker. Where this option is located depends on the version of Safari you’re using. You can also use the Terminal as well to enable and disable the pop-up blocker in Safari.

Allowing Those Tiny Pop-Up Windows on Your MacSome sites require that you enable pop-ups on your machine in order to work. You can do that pretty easily by allowing pop-ups in various browsers for macOS, as we’ve seen here. Pop-ups aren’t the only annoyance on the web.
