How to Allow Pop-ups

No one likes being bombarded by pop-up ads, but you do need them every once in a while. Some sites still require that you add information to a pop-up window. Or maybe you can’t view a video or page because Safari’s pop-up blocker is blocking it. No matter the reason, here’s how to allow pop-ups on Safari.

Block or allow pop-ups in Safari                                                                                                                                                
These Safari settings can help you manage pop-ups and other unwanted interruptions. If you get pop-ups that just won’t go away despite these settings, continue to avoid interacting with them. You should also update your software and learn about adware and other unwanted software.
