Disable or bypass pop-up blocker in Chrome

By default Chrome rightly focuses on stopping spammy windows and browser safety. But on some websites you NEED to see that popup – it might be a login or payment window.

1 – How to Allow a Single Pop-Up in Google Chrome

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. Go to a page where pop-ups are blocked.
3. In the address bar, click Pop-up blocked .
4. Click the link for the pop-up you want to check.

2 – How to Always Allow Pop-Ups from a Specific Website in Chrome

Go the same place, but click “Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [site]“

3 – How to Turn Off the Pop-Up Blocker in Chrome Completely

1. Find the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (three vertical dots) located in the upper-right corner. 
2. Select Settings -> Privacy and security -> Site Settings -> Content -> Pop-up and Redirects
3. Under “Default behavior,” choose the option to “Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects”

4 – Shortcut Tricks to Bypass Chrome’s Pop-Up Blocker

If its a link that SHOULD be working but you suspect its blocked, try holding down the Shift key, or the Control key, while clicking normally on the link. This sometimes bypasses the block.

5 – What to Do If Chrome Still Blocks Pop-Ups (Try Another Browser)

Sometimes you have to use another browser. For example one government website I use simply doesn’t work in Chrome, however silly that is. Try “the other browser” on your device.
