At the top right, click on the three-dot menu and then Settings.If you want to block all pop-ups, then you will want to select the “ Don’t allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects” option. To manage your default Chrome pop-up and redirect settings, open Chrome, and at the top right click on “ More” and then “ Settings.” On the settings page, click on the “ Privacy and security” section found on the left, then select “ Site Settings.” This will take you to another section where you will scroll all the way down until you see “ Pop-ups and redirects.” Click on this option and select whether you want to allow pop-ups or not.
