If you are a user of Google Chrome, it is likely that you are using the built-in ad and pop-up blocking software, or you are using the Adblock app and extension that can be added to Chrome. However, there are times when a website might require ads or pop-ups to load. While it is possible to allow only selected websites to show pop-ups, sometimes it is easier to completely disable the setting. This wikiHow will explain how to disable Chrome's blocking settings on a computer or a mobile device, and also how to disable the Adblock extension on a computer.
Things You Should Know
- Navigate to "Chrome > Settings > Privacy & security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects" to disable the pop-up blocker.
- If you have Adblocker installed, go to "Chrome > Extensions" and disable the plugin.
