Block pop-ups in Safari on Mac

You can prevent webpages from displaying pop-up windows.

Open Safari for me

Click Pop-up Windows.

Block pop-up windows for:

A website in the list: Select the website in the right column, then choose the option you want.

All websites that aren’t currently customized: Click the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu in the bottom-right corner of the pane, then choose the option you want.

You can see all websites you’ve customized under Configured Websites. If you don’t see Configured Websites, either you haven’t customized a website yet, or you’ve cleared the list. See Change Websites preferences in Safari on Mac .

All websites: Make sure no websites are listed under Configured Websites (to clear the list quickly, select the websites, then click Remove). Click the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu, then choose the option you want.

If you choose Block and Notify for pop-up windows on a website, click the icon in the Smart Search field to display the pop-up windows.

Note: Blocking pop-ups might also block some content you want to see.

How to allow pop-ups in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

It seems like we put so much effort into blocking things like pop-ups and ads when we’re browsing the web that we forget about sites that actually use pop-ups for good reasons. It could be a shopping site where you get a confirmation, a CMS where you can use tools, or a social site where you log in.

In Safari on iPhone or iPad, you can allow pop-ups globally; and on Mac, you can even allow them just for the specific sites you want. Here’s how to do both.

Allow pop-ups in Safari on iPhone and iPad

On iPhone and iPad, you cannot currently specify which sites you want to allow pop-ups for. It’s a global setting that you can enable or disable. The best option to allow pop-ups for a particular site is to turn off the setting, visit the website you want to see the pop-ups for, and then turn the setting back on.

Open Settings and select Safari . Turn off the toggle for Block Pop-ups .

When you finish visiting the site whose pop-ups you want to see, you should strongly consider turning the Block Pop-ups setting back on. Otherwise, you could end up inundated with ads or even unsafe pop-ups on your device.

Allow pop-ups in Safari on Mac

You have a couple of ways to allow pop-ups in Safari on Mac for the sites you trust. You can do this in the Preferences or with the site active in Safari. By taking a few moments to configure certain sites, you’ll save some aggravation later, waiting for that pop-up that never comes.

Allow when on the website

Suppose you clicked a link that triggered a new pop-up window. But if you have restricted pop-up windows in Preferences, the pop-up window won’t open and display a message temporarily in the Safari address bar. Besides that, it will show a tiny pop-up icon . Simply click that icon in the address bar, and it will open the blocked pop-up window.

When starting a live chat with Apple Support or downloading booked train tickets, I always use this method to allow the website to open the requested pop-up window.

Allow pop-ups in Preferences

• Open Safari and click Safari > Preferences from the menu bar.
• Select the Websites tab.
• On the left, scroll down to and pick Pop-Up Windows .
• To the right, you have your Currently Open Websites at the top with any Configured Websites at the bottom. Next to each, select the drop-down box and pick Allow for those you want to allow pop-ups.

For any sites that you don’t want to allow or that you want to be notified, select either Block or Block and Notify in that drop-down box.

At the bottom, next to When visiting other websites , you have a drop-down box with those three options as well. This is a global setting that covers all other sites you visit that you have not yet configured.

Allow pop-ups in the Safari window

• Right-click the address bar for the site you’re viewing and select Settings for site name or Settings For This Website .
• In the small window that appears, go down to Pop-up Windows .
• Use the drop-down box to choose Allow to see pop-ups for that website. Obviously, you can choose Block or Block and Notify for those you don’t want to see pop-ups.

When you use this method to adjust pop-ups for particular websites, these sites will then be added to the Configured Websites list in your Preferences, as explained above.

Hopefully, Apple will offer the ability to configure pop-ups for specific sites in Safari on iPhone and iPad at some point, just like on Mac. But in the meantime, you do have a way to allow pop-ups for the sites you want on all your devices.

Which types of websites do you want or need to see pop-ups for? And will you take the time to make sure you can? Let us know!

Allow or block Popups in Safari

Updated at: Mar 09, 2022

By default, Safari blocks popup windows from automatically appearing. But since some popups are legitimate and useful this guide will show you how to tell Safari to allow those pop-ups, block others, and change your settings to how you want them.

Go to the webpage with the pop-up window that you want to allow

To allow a pop-up window to open in Safari, you first need to go to the web page that tries to open the pop-up.

If you want to just test these steps out, you can use our Pop-ups detection page to experiment with; it will open a pop-up window you can test with.

The above image is a screenshot of our pop-ups detection page, showing you what it looks like when Safari isn't allowing pop-up windows to be shown, but please visit the actual page you're trying to use and want to allow pop-ups on.

Temporarily show the blocked pop-up window in Safari

When you visit a page that tries to show you a pop-up window but is blocked by Safari, you will see a warning in the Address Bar:

This is a temporary change - Safari will only remember that you want to allow pop-ups from this website just in this tab , and only while it is still open. If you close the tab or open other browser tabs/windows and go back to the same website, you will have to click the icon again and allow Safari to open the pop-up window. However you can tell Safari to remember your preference for this website and permanently allow pop-ups from a website...

Permanently allow pop-ups from a website in Safari

The easiest way to tell Safari to always allow pop-ups from the website you are visiting, is to go to the website and right click (or hold ⌃ Control and click) on the address bar. You will see a menu appear that contains an item: Settings for This Website... .

Click Settings for This Website... and in the small dialog window that appears, next to the section that says Pop-up Window - click the Block and Notify option and you will see three options appear:

• Block and Notify is the default behaviour for Safari and will cause Safari to block pop-up windows from this website, Safari will show you the small notice in the Address Bar every time a pop-up is blocked.
• Block will cause Safari to block pop-up windows from this website and not even tell you
• Allow will cause Safari to let the website you are visiting always open pop-up windows

Choose the option you want for Safari, remembering that this is changing the setting just for this website .

Once you have selected the pop-ups setting for this site, you can click away from the little window and keep browsing. If you have enabled popups for a website you can refresh the page in Safari and it should allow the popup window to open this time.

Change saved pop-ups settings in Safari

Even if you have saved custom settings for pop-ups in Safari, you can reset or modify them easily. First, open Safari's preferences by clicking the Safari menu and then choosing Preferences.

Click the "Websites" tab

In Safari's Preferences window, click the Websites tab, to show preferences for websites.

Click "Pop-up Windows" in the side-menu

Click the Pop-up Windows item on the "Websites" configuration screen to reveal the configuration screen for popups.

Remove site settings, and change the default pop-up behaviour

On the Pop-ups settings screen, you can do a few things:

• Change custom settings for sites , by clicking the select field next to the site and choosing a new option
• Removing the pop-ups preference for a website , by selecting it and then clicking Remove
• Configure the default pop-ups behaviour for all new websites by

Once you have changed Safari's pop-up preferences, you can simply close the Preferences window and resume using Safari.

How to Allow Pop-Ups in Safari

Safari blocks all pop-up windows by default, which isn't always ideal, as you'll face issues while visiting old websites.

Over the past few years, Apple has positioned Safari as a privacy-first web browser. And it's one of the many reasons Apple users prefer it to popular alternatives like Google Chrome or Firefox.

The ability to block pop-ups in Safari automatically is one of the most praised features in the bunch. However, there are times when you need to allow pop-ups in Safari. So, we'll explain how you can allow pop-ups in Safari on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

How to Allow Pop-Ups in Safari on a Mac

You can allow pop-ups for all websites or a specific site in Safari. We'll show you how to do both, but if you use another browser, you may need an extensive guide on how to allow pop-ups on Mac in general.

How to Allow Pop-Ups for a Specific Website

Enabling pop-ups for a website you trust or visit frequently is pretty easy. Here's what you need to do.

• Visit the website for which you want to allow pop-ups in Safari.
• Control -click on the URL in the address bar and choose Settings for [Website URL] from the context menu.
• Then, click the dropdown next to Pop-up Windows and choose Allow .

From now on, Safari will allow pop-up windows on the specific website.

How to Allow Pop-Ups Across Safari

Likewise, you can enable pop-up windows for all sites you access in Safari. Follow these steps:

• Launch Safari and click Safari > Settings from the menu bar.
• Head to the Websites tab in the window that appears.
• Now, select Pop-up Windows from the left sidebar.
• Click the dropdown next to When visiting other websites at the bottom-right corner and choose Allow .

As you can see, it's pretty easy to allow pop-ups for all sites you visit in Safari. However, we recommend keeping the Block option unless you want to be bombarded with pop-ups.

How to Allow Pop-Ups in Safari on an iPhone or iPad

Allowing pop-ups in Safari on an iPhone or iPad is also pretty straightforward. Once again, you may need a more extensive guide to allow pop-ups on an iPhone or iPad if you use third-party browsers. Regardless, here's what you need to do.

• Launch the Settings app, scroll down, and tap on Safari .
• Scroll down to the General subsection.
• Toggle off& Block Pop-ups to enable pop-ups.

Unfortunately, there's no option to allow pop-ups for specific websites in iOS and iPadOS. So, you'll have to deal with pop-up windows across Safari when you disable this option.

When Should You Allow Pop-Ups in Safari?

Even though pop-ups are mostly used for annoying advertisements, some legitimate sites use pop-ups. For example, some websites use pop-up windows for payments so that the user can process the payment without leaving the current page. They're also used to facilitate customer service interactions.

You may also need pop-up windows to use specific features on some websites. This could be the case when using less modern websites. However, by default, you'll find that Safari blocks all pop-up windows. Regardless of how many times you click a button, the pop-up will not appear.

Fortunately, you now have better ways to control how pop-ups behave in Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Nevertheless, you should only allow pop-ups in Safari when you're confident about the security and privacy of the website. Also, you should check the different aspects of allowing pop-ups in your browser before you proceed.

Change How Safari Handles Pop-Ups

While it has risks, allowing pop-up windows in Safari is an easy task. As we said, it will be useful when dealing with old websites or those with Google Sign-In options. If you're a developer, this option will also help you with testing.

However, considering how problematic they can be, pop-up windows should be enabled only in safe environments, and disabling pop-up blocking across your device may not be a good idea.

How to block pop-ups on Safari for iOS and iPadOS

Come bloccare i popup di Safari nel Mac

Anche se qualche volta si rivelano utili, i popup non godono di buona reputazione. Possono interrompere il lavoro, rallentare il caricamento delle pagine o persino nascondere malware. Fortunatamente in Safari è integrato un semplice strumento che consente di gestirli e bloccarli.

Nei dispositivi Mac il blocco popup di Safari permette di bloccare o consentire i popup per specifici siti Web . È una funzionalità importante in uno strumento di blocco, dal momento che non tutti i popup sono spam e alcuni consentono di esplorare più facilmente i siti.

Per bloccare o consentire i popup in siti specifici, è possibile usare anche limitare l'accesso a contenuti di YouTube o in streaming per i figli AVG Secure Browser , un browser gratuito che mette al primo posto la sicurezza e la privacy. Consente di esplorare il Web in modo anonimo e di personalizzare completamente il blocco degli annunci in modo da consentire solo i popup essenziali, oltre a offrire diverse funzionalità aggiuntive per la privacy.

Come bloccare tutti i popup nel Mac

Ecco come bloccare tutti i popup nel Mac utilizzando il blocco popup di Safari:

Apri il browser Safari e fai clic su Preferenze nel menu a discesa Safari .

Seleziona la scheda Siti web in alto e fai clic su Finestre a comparsa nel menu a sinistra.

Usa il pulsante Rimuovi per eliminare le impostazioni del sito visualizzate nella casella "Siti web configurati". Quindi fai clic sul pulsante "Quando visito altri siti web" e seleziona Blocca .

Il gioco è fatto: il blocco dei popup di Safari è ora attivo per tutti i siti Web.

Come accade con la cancellazione della cronologia delle ricerche , l' eliminazione dei cookie e la rimozione delle estensioni da Safari , anche il blocco dei popup può semplificare e velocizzare il Mac , poiché riduce al minimo gli annunci spam e il numero di altre notifiche di disturbo.

Come disabilitare popup per siti specifici nel Mac

Se Safari sta bloccando i popup che invece desideri o hai bisogno di visualizzare, è possibile personalizzare le impostazioni degli annunci e bloccare solo quelli di determinati siti.

Ecco come disattivare i popup di siti specifici nel Mac:

Apri Safari e fai clic su Preferenze nel menu a discesa Safari.

Seleziona la scheda Siti web e fai clic su Finestre a comparsa nel menu a sinistra. Imposta "Quando visito altri siti web" su Consenti per abilitare i popup come impostazione predefinita.

Il sito Web che stai visitando verrà elencato nell'area Siti web attualmente aperti . Fai clic sul menu a discesa e scegli Blocca .

I popup verranno ora bloccati per il sito Web selezionato e il processo può essere ripetuto per altri siti che desideri bloccare. Se sei alla ricerca di ulteriori modi per sperimentare un'esplorazione del Web più minimalista, puoi anche provare a impostare la pagina about:blank come home page del browser.

Come bloccare i popup per un sito Web attivo

Puoi impostare il blocco dei popup del Mac per disabilitare gli annunci solo per il sito Web che stai utilizzando.

Ecco come bloccare i popup nel Mac per un sito Web attivo:

Fai clic con il pulsante destro del mouse sulla barra degli indirizzi del sito Web corrente, quindi fai clic su Impostazioni per [nome sito] .

Nella finestra visualizzata seleziona Blocca nel menu a discesa accanto a Finestre a comparsa .

Safari ora bloccherà i messaggi popup in quel sito specifico, ma il Mac continuerà a consentire i popup di altri siti Web.

Come bloccare i popup di Safari su iPhone e iPad

I popup interessano anche i dispositivi mobile, ma fortunatamente Safari offre un blocco popup anche per iPhone e iPad.

Ecco come bloccare i popup in iPhone e iPad:

Passa a Impostazioni e scorri fino all'app Safari .

Scorri fino a Blocco finestre a comparsa e attiva il pulsante.

Nello stesso modo in cui i computer possono rallentare nel corso del tempo , anche gli iPhone possono essere appesantiti da qualcosa di diverso da semplici popup. Cerca di tenere pulito e di velocizzare il tuo iPhone in modo che possa funzionare sempre al meglio.

Se usi anche altri browser, puoi gestire i popup in Chrome , evitarli in Firefox o sbarazzartene in Edge o IE . L'uso di uno strumento di pulizia del browser contribuirà anche a velocizzare il tuo dispositivo .

Come disabilitare il blocco popup nel Mac

Alcuni messaggi popup sono stati progettati per migliorare l'esperienza utente comunicando notifiche utili o assicurando la funzionalità dei siti. Pertanto, disabilitando un blocco popup in Safari, ovvero consentendo i popup, potresti migliorare la tua esperienza di navigazione globale.

Ecco come abilitare i popup nel Mac:

Fai clic sul menu a discesa Safari e scegli Preferenze .

Fai clic sulla scheda Siti web in alto e scegli Finestre a comparsa nel menu a sinistra. Se nella casella "Siti web configurati" sono presenti impostazioni per un singolo sito, eliminale utilizzando il pulsante Rimuovi .

Imposta il pulsante "Quando visito altri siti web" su Consenti .

Ecco fatto. Ora tutti i popup sono consentiti in Safari.

Come consentire i popup per siti specifici nel Mac

Se desideri sbloccare i popup solo per i siti che reputi attendibili, è possibile personalizzare le preferenze di Safari nel Mac per consentire i popup su determinati siti, lasciando attivo il blocco per altri.

Ecco come abilitare i popup nel Mac per siti specifici:

Seleziona la scheda Siti Web e fai clic su Finestre a comparsa . Il sito Web che stai visitando verrà elencato nell'area Siti web attualmente aperti . Fai clic sul menu a discesa e scegli Consenti .

Una volta che sai come disattivare un blocco popup per siti Web specifici, puoi personalizzare ulteriormente il blocco popup del MacBook selezionando "Blocca e avvisa". In questo modo, sarà possibile visualizzare manualmente le finestre popup bloccate facendo clic sulla notifica nella barra degli indirizzi.

Come consentire i popup per un sito Web attivo

Ecco come disabilitare il blocco popup nel Mac per il sito Web attivo:

Fai clic con il pulsante destro del mouse sulla barra degli indirizzi del sito Web attivo e seleziona Impostazioni per [nome sito] .

Nella finestra visualizzata, individua Finestre a comparsa , quindi seleziona Consenti nel menu a discesa.

Ora il blocco dei popup di Safari consentirà i popup nel sito corrente visualizzato e in qualsiasi altro sito Web che hai sbloccato. Il blocco dei popup di Safari continuerà tuttavia a eliminare i popup in tutti gli altri siti.

Come disabilitare il blocco popup in iPhone e iPad

In iOS non è possibile fare un'eccezione per abilitare i popup solo per siti specifici. Se vuoi che i popup siano visualizzati, devi disattivarne completamente il blocco nel tuo iPhone o iPad.

Ecco come consentire i popup su iPhone e come disabilitare il blocco popup su iPad:

Passa a Impostazioni e scegli l'app Safari .

Scorri fino a Blocco finestre a comparsa e disattiva il pulsante.

I popup in Safari sono pericolosi?

La maggior parte dei popup di Safari non costituisce un pericolo e in realtà aiuta l'utente a interagire in modo più semplice con i siti Web visitati. I popup possono agevolare l'interazione con un sito, consentono di selezionare preferenze, visualizzare messaggi di marketing o moduli per il consenso all'uso dei cookie. Se consenti a un sito di visualizzare i popup nel browser, in un secondo momento puoi comunque svuotare la cache e disabilitare i cookie per sbarazzartene.

Esistono però popup più sospetti e persino pericolosi che possono contenere falsi pulsanti di chiusura che di fatto eseguono azioni impreviste invece di chiudere la finestra. Un annuncio sovrapposto, o un popup nella pagina, viene visualizzato come un livello posto davanti a una schermata del browser e quindi si presenta ingannevolmente come pagina Web. Se i popup causano l'installazione di software indesiderato, è possibile utilizzare uno strumento di rimozione del bloatware in grado di togliere di mezzo tutte le app non necessarie .

I popup più pericolosi possono danneggiare il sistema e bombardare il browser con un attacco adware , mentre altri popup sospetti possono essere usati come stratagemmi di malvertising per infestare il sistema con ogni tipo di malware . Essere sempre informati sulle minacce per la sicurezza informatica dei Mac è essenziale per mantenere il sistema al sicuro. Se pensi di aver già scaricato malware nel sistema tramite un popup, rimuovilo immediatamente dal Mac .

I popup sono uno dei principali motivi per utilizzare un ad-blocker , ma uno strumento di blocco che elimina completamente le finestre popup presenta anche alcuni svantaggi. Alcuni popup sono necessari per il corretto funzionamento di un sito Web. Altri contengono importanti informazioni o funzionalità di accesso più estese all'interno di un sito Web, ad esempio un programma di installazione per un'applicazione.

Un altro motivo per prestare attenzione quando si utilizza un ad-blocker è che a volte possono bloccare gli annunci relativi a prodotti e servizi di effettiva utilità per gli utenti, come i moduli di iscrizione alle newsletter. Con un ad-blocker, potresti anche perdere interessanti occasioni, come sconti o offerte valide per un periodo di tempo limitato, quindi una valida opzione è bloccare solo determinati popup in Safari.

Come si può sapere quali popup bloccare?

Dal momento che alcuni popup sono fastidiosi mentre altri sono utili, non esiste una soluzione unica al problema della rimozione di questi annunci nel Mac. Potresti, ad esempio, consentire i popup nei siti Web che conosci e consideri attendibili e bloccarli se non sei certo che un sito sia sicuro , oltre ad adottare sempre abitudini di navigazione sicure. Sicuramente è bene bloccare i siti con popup dubbi o sospetti.

• Browsers & Extensions

Introduction

Pop-up windows have been a subject of contention in the browsing world for quite some time. While they can be annoying and disruptive, there are instances where enabling pop-ups is necessary to access certain content or features on websites. Safari, the default web browser for Apple devices, provides users with the flexibility to manage pop-ups according to their preferences.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of enabling pop-ups on Safari, whether it's for specific websites or for all websites. By following these steps, you can customize your browsing experience and ensure that you don't miss out on important information or functionality that may be presented in pop-up windows.

So, whether you're encountering issues with accessing essential content due to pop-up restrictions or simply want to have more control over your browsing experience, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to manage pop-ups effectively on Safari. Let's dive into the step-by-step process to enable pop-ups and make the most out of your browsing sessions.

Step 1: Open Safari Preferences

To begin the process of enabling pop-ups on Safari, you first need to access the browser's preferences. This allows you to customize various settings, including those related to pop-up windows. Here's a detailed walkthrough of how to open Safari Preferences :

Launch Safari: Start by opening the Safari browser on your Mac or iOS device. The Safari icon can typically be found in the dock or the Applications folder on a Mac, or on the home screen of an iOS device.

Access Preferences: Once Safari is open, navigate to the top-left corner of the screen on a Mac or the bottom-right corner on an iOS device to locate the "Safari" menu. Click on "Safari" to reveal a drop-down menu, and then select "Preferences" from the options listed. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Command + ," on a Mac to directly access the Preferences window.

Explore Preferences: Upon selecting "Preferences," a new window will appear, presenting a range of customizable settings for Safari. This is where you can modify various aspects of the browser's behavior, including security, privacy, and website settings.

By following these steps, you will successfully open the Safari Preferences window, laying the groundwork for the subsequent actions required to enable pop-ups. With the Preferences window now accessible, you are ready to proceed to the next steps in the process of managing pop-ups on Safari.

This initial step sets the stage for the subsequent actions, allowing you to delve into the specific settings that govern pop-up behavior on Safari. With the Preferences window at your disposal, you are empowered to tailor the browsing experience to your preferences, ensuring that pop-ups are managed in a manner that aligns with your needs and browsing habits.

Step 2: Go to Security Settings

Once you have accessed the Safari Preferences window, the next crucial step in enabling pop-ups involves navigating to the security settings. This is where you can fine-tune the browser's behavior regarding pop-up windows and ensure that your browsing experience aligns with your preferences and security considerations.

Here's a detailed guide on how to proceed to the security settings within Safari Preferences:

Select the "Security" Tab : Within the Safari Preferences window, you will notice a series of tabs at the top of the window, such as "General," "AutoFill," "Passwords," and more. Locate and click on the "Security" tab to access the security settings for the browser.

Explore Security Preferences : Upon selecting the "Security" tab, you will be presented with a range of security-related options and settings that pertain to your browsing experience. These settings encompass various aspects of web security, including website permissions, fraudulent website warnings, and plug-in management.

Focus on Pop-Up Windows : Within the Security preferences, you will find specific options related to pop-up windows. This is where you can customize the behavior of pop-ups according to your preferences. Look for settings that allow you to manage pop-ups, such as enabling them for specific websites or configuring Safari to block or allow all pop-ups.

Review Additional Security Features : While in the Security preferences, take the opportunity to review other security features offered by Safari. This may include settings related to website permissions, content blockers, and privacy considerations. By familiarizing yourself with these features, you can enhance your overall browsing security and tailor the browser to meet your specific needs.

By navigating to the security settings within Safari Preferences, you gain access to a suite of options that enable you to manage pop-ups and enhance the security of your browsing experience. This step is pivotal in customizing Safari to align with your preferences and ensuring that pop-ups are handled in a manner that suits your browsing habits and security requirements.

With the security settings now within reach, you are well-positioned to proceed to the subsequent steps, where you can further refine the management of pop-ups on Safari, ultimately optimizing your browsing experience.

Step 3: Allow Pop-Ups for Specific Websites

Enabling pop-ups for specific websites can be advantageous when you want to ensure seamless access to essential content or features on trusted sites while maintaining strict pop-up restrictions for others. Safari provides a convenient way to grant permissions for pop-ups on a site-by-site basis, allowing you to exercise precise control over pop-up behavior. Here's a detailed exploration of the process to allow pop-ups for specific websites within Safari:

Navigate to Website Settings : After accessing the Security tab within Safari Preferences, look for the section that pertains to website settings. Within this area, you can manage individual website permissions, including the handling of pop-up windows.

Add Websites : In the website settings section, you have the option to add specific websites for which you wish to allow pop-ups. This involves specifying the website address or URL and configuring the pop-up behavior accordingly.

Customize Pop-Up Behavior : For each website added to the list, Safari allows you to customize the pop-up behavior. This may include options to always allow pop-ups from the specified site, block pop-ups, or configure Safari to ask for permission each time a pop-up is attempted.

Fine-Tune Permissions : Safari's granular approach to website permissions empowers you to fine-tune the pop-up behavior for individual sites based on your preferences and trust levels. This level of customization ensures that you can maintain a streamlined browsing experience on trusted websites while upholding stringent pop-up restrictions for others.

Review and Manage Existing Permissions : Additionally, within the website settings, you can review and manage existing permissions for websites, including those related to pop-ups. This allows you to revisit and modify permissions as needed, ensuring that your browsing experience remains tailored to your evolving preferences.

By allowing pop-ups for specific websites, you can strike a balance between accessibility and security, ensuring that trusted sites can utilize pop-ups for legitimate purposes while mitigating the intrusion of unwanted pop-ups on other sites. This targeted approach to managing pop-ups reflects Safari's commitment to providing users with the tools to personalize their browsing experience according to their unique needs and preferences.

With the ability to allow pop-ups for specific websites, you can navigate the web with confidence, knowing that essential pop-up content on trusted sites is readily accessible while maintaining a secure and controlled environment for browsing. This level of control over pop-up behavior exemplifies Safari's dedication to empowering users with the flexibility to tailor their browsing experience to align with their individual preferences and security considerations.

Step 4: Enable Pop-Ups for All Websites

Enabling pop-ups for all websites in Safari involves configuring the browser to allow pop-up windows across the board, regardless of the site being accessed. While this approach may lead to a more permissive browsing experience, it can be beneficial in certain scenarios where you prefer to have unrestricted access to pop-up content without the need to manage individual site permissions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to enable pop-ups for all websites within Safari:

Access Global Pop-Up Settings : After navigating to the Security tab within Safari Preferences, look for the section that governs global pop-up settings. This is where you can configure Safari to allow pop-ups for all websites, overriding individual site-specific permissions.

Enable Pop-Ups : Within the global pop-up settings, you will find an option to enable pop-ups for all websites. This setting, when activated, ensures that Safari does not block any pop-up windows, providing a more permissive approach to handling pop-up content across the web.

Considerations for Permissive Settings : It's important to consider the implications of enabling pop-ups for all websites. While this setting may offer convenience in accessing pop-up content without individual site management, it also increases the exposure to potentially intrusive or unwanted pop-ups on certain sites.

Enhanced Browsing Flexibility : By enabling pop-ups for all websites, you gain enhanced browsing flexibility, allowing you to interact with a wide range of web content that may utilize pop-up windows for various purposes, such as notifications, forms, or multimedia presentations.

Balancing Accessibility and Security : When opting to enable pop-ups for all websites, it's essential to strike a balance between accessibility and security. While this setting provides broader access to pop-up content, it's crucial to remain vigilant and exercise caution when encountering pop-ups on unfamiliar or untrusted sites.

Review and Adjust Settings : Safari's commitment to user empowerment extends to the ability to review and adjust settings at any time. If the decision to enable pop-ups for all websites needs to be revisited, Safari's preferences allow for seamless modification of global pop-up settings to align with evolving browsing preferences and security considerations.

Enabling pop-ups for all websites in Safari presents a more permissive approach to managing pop-up content, offering convenience in accessing a wide range of web-based pop-up features without the need for individual site-specific permissions. However, it's essential to approach this setting with a mindful balance between accessibility and security, ensuring a seamless browsing experience while remaining vigilant against potential risks associated with unrestricted pop-up access.

In conclusion, the ability to manage pop-ups on Safari empowers users to tailor their browsing experience according to their preferences and security considerations. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this guide, you can effectively enable pop-ups for specific websites or across all websites, striking a balance between accessibility and security.

Safari's granular approach to pop-up management, which allows for site-specific permissions and global settings, reflects the browser's commitment to providing users with the tools to personalize their browsing experience. Whether it's granting permissions for essential pop-up content on trusted sites or opting for a more permissive approach by enabling pop-ups across the board, Safari offers the flexibility to accommodate diverse browsing needs.

It's important to approach pop-up management with a mindful balance, considering the potential benefits of accessing essential pop-up content while remaining vigilant against intrusive or unwanted pop-ups. By leveraging Safari's customizable settings, users can navigate the web with confidence, knowing that their browsing experience is tailored to align with their individual preferences and security requirements.

As technology continues to evolve, Safari remains dedicated to providing a seamless and secure browsing environment, where users have the autonomy to manage pop-ups in a manner that enhances their overall web experience. The ability to fine-tune pop-up behavior according to specific needs underscores Safari's commitment to user empowerment and personalized browsing.

Ultimately, the process of enabling pop-ups on Safari is not just about managing windows that appear on the screen; it's about empowering users to engage with web content in a way that aligns with their preferences and security considerations. By navigating Safari's preferences and security settings, users can harness the full potential of the browser while maintaining control over their browsing experience.

In essence, the ability to manage pop-ups on Safari is a testament to the browser's commitment to user-centric design and personalized browsing, ensuring that users can engage with web content in a manner that suits their individual needs and preferences.

Safari blocks all kinds of pop-up windows by default. In that mix, it ends up blocking some legitimate ones. Here's how you can disable the pop-up blocker in Safari for all websites or specific ones on Mac.

Many websites offer helpful pop-ups to enter important details such as login credentials, captcha, forms, and more. So it makes sense to allow pop-ups for certain websites.

It's annoying to click on the pop-up blocked notification every time you visit sites that require you to allow pop-ups. Luckily, you can change Safari's default behavior and get pop-up windows while browsing.

To get started, open the Safari browser on your Mac. Next, click "Safari" in the top-left corner of the menu bar and select "Preferences."

Click the "Websites" tab.

In the "General" column on the left, scroll down and select "Pop-up Windows."

Use the drop-down menu next to the "When Visiting Other Websites" option in the bottom-left and choose "Allow."

Next, click "Safari" in the menu bar and select "Preferences."

In Safari Preferences, click the "Websites" tab.

Scroll down in the "General" column and select "Pop-up Windows."

All popular web browsers across all platforms come with a built-in pop-up blocker. They are typically smart enough to block unwanted pop-ups that would otherwise ruin your browsing experience. But in some cases, you might need to temporarily disable your browser’s pop-up blocker. If that’s the case, you have come to the right place.

Follow this guide to learn how to disable the pop-up blocker in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

Note that you should also temporarily disable your ad blocker as it might affect the site’s functionality.

How to Disable Pop-Up Blockers in Google Chrome on Windows or Mac

If you’re using Chrome as your default browser, pop-ups are blocked by default. That means every time a pop-up tries to appear while browsing, Chrome prevents the pop-up window from opening. Usually, you’ll see a “Pop-up blocked” message appear in the address bar when this happens.

Thankfully, turning off pop-blocking in Google Chrome is easy.  

• Open Google Chrome and click the ellipses (three dots appearing in the upper right corner).

If you want to allow pop-ups for specific sites, follow the above steps, then scroll to Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects .

Remember that if you uninstall and reinstall Chrome , you will have to reconfirm your pop-up blocker settings. 

How to Disable Pop-up Blockers in Google Chrome on Android

You can disable the pop-up blocker in Chrome for Android as well. We do not recommend doing this as your browsing experience can take a negative hit. Still, if you want to, follow the below steps. Note that, unlike the desktop version, you cannot allow pop-ups for specific sites.

• Open Google Chrome on your Android phone.

Remember that disabling Chrome’s pop-up blocker will not stop pop-up ads from appearing on your  Android phone .

How to Disable Pop-up Blockers in Safari on Mac

Unfortunately, like Chrome, Safari also blocks pop-ups by default, too. But you can adjust this setting to your preference.

• Open Safari on your Mac.

• Locate the When Visiting Other Sites dropdown and the drop-down menu to reveal more options.

Like we did with Chrome, you can also choose which websites you want to allow pop-ups. Only make sure that you’re on the relevant website. Here’s what you need to do:

• Open the website on your Safari browser for which you want to allow pop-ups.
• Go to Preferences .
• Select Websites , and click Pop-up windows (The website you’re currently on will automatically appear on a list of currently opened web pages).

How to Disable Pop-up Blocker in Safari on iPhone

Disabling Safari’s pop-up blocker on iPhone might be necessary for certain websites. While the pop-up blocker provides security from intrusive ads, you must understand how to manage these settings for a smooth browsing experience. 

• Open the Settings menu on your iPhone.

Unlike Safari on Mac, you cannot allow pop-ups for individual sites in Safari on iPhone.

How to Disable Pop-up Blockers in Firefox on Desktop

By default, Mozilla Firefox blocks any pop-up on websites you open. But you can still disable them on a Mac, Windows, Linux, or Chromebook. Note that the steps are the same irrespective of which desktop version of the browser you use.

• Open Firefox on your desktop.

• Click Privacy & Security on the left sidebar.

Like with the desktop version of Safari and Google Chrome, you may allow pop-ups from specific sites in Safari.

• Check the Block pop-up windows option, then click on Exceptions .

How to Disable Pop-up Blocker in Firefox on iPhone

If you’re having trouble accessing certain content or website features while using Firefox on your iPhone, you might need to turn off the pop-up blocker temporarily. Note that unlike it is with the desktop version, you can not allow pop-ups for a specific site.

• Open Firefox on your iPhone.

And you’re all set to browse your favorite websites that work best with pop-ups.

How to Disable Pop-up Blocker in Microsoft Edge

Disabling the pop-up blocker in Microsoft Edge isn’t as difficult as you think. You follow the steps we outline below.

• Open Edge on your computer
• Click the three do ts at the top of your browser.

Why Should You Turn Off Pop-Up Blockers?

We know that pop-ups can be annoying, but they still have their uses. Here are some reasons why you should turn off your pop-up blockers.

• Some websites need pop-ups to enable features like login windows, payment gateways, or other interactive elements. Disabling the pop-up blocker on your device allows you to access and use these features easily.
• Some web apps rely on pop-ups to send alerts and notifications. Turning off your web browser’s pop-up blocker can help these apps to function correctly.

Pop-Ups Can Be Annoying, But They’re Still Useful!

Pop-ups can be annoying, especially when they show up every time you’re surfing your favorite sites. But they are essential tools that help websites like those managed by banks operate properly. Enabling pop-ups on your browsers can be challenging if you’ve never done it before. However, it isn’t difficult once you know how.

Next, you might want to learn how to go incognito in Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari for a more private browsing experience.

What is a pop-up notification?

A pop-up notification is a message that often appears on a user’s browser or desktop. Think of a pop-up as a message designed to attract your attention and engage you in some ways while browsing. Pop-up notifications are visually appealing and are often used to engage internet users, create brand awareness, and improve the browsing experience.

What is the difference between pop-up and notification?

Pop-up notifications are messages that often appear on your screen when browsing. On the other hand, notifications are alerts sent to your device. Notifications keep you informed of important updates, messages, or promotions.

In tal caso, credo proprio di poterti aiutare: nel corso di questo tutorial, infatti, ti spiegherò  come disattivare il blocco pop up sui più conosciuti browser per computer, smartphone e tablet, in modo semplice e senza la necessità di applicare modifiche “profonde” ai suddetti programmi.

Dunque, senza esitare oltre, concedi qualche minuto di tempo alla lettura di questa mia guida: ti garantisco che, al termine della stessa, sarai perfettamente in grado di raggiungere l’obiettivo che ti eri prefissato. Detto ciò, non mi resta altro da fare, se non augurarti buona lettura e buon lavoro.

Come disattivare il blocco pop up sul PC

Disattivare il blocco pop up sul PC non è affatto difficile: basta agire nella sezione dedicata delle impostazioni del programma di navigazione che si è soliti usare.

Se ti affidi al browser Google Chrome , clicca innanzitutto sul pulsante (⋮) collocato in alto a destra, seleziona la voce  Impostazioni dal menu visualizzato, individua il riquadro Privacy e sicurezza e clicca sulla voce Impostazioni sito posta in sua corrispondenza.

A questo punto, fai clic sull’opzione  Popup e reindirizzamenti e sposta la levetta posta in cima allo schermo, che dovrebbe recare la dicitura Bloccata (opzione consigliata) , su  Consentito .

In alternativa, puoi specificare manualmente i siti per i quali sbloccare sempre i popup: per farlo, clicca sul pulsante  Aggiungi corrispondente alla voce  Consenti e utilizza il modulo che ti viene proposto per digitare l’ indirizzo del sito Web di tuo interesse.

Inoltre, Google Chrome consente anche di aggiungere eccezioni al volo, senza la necessità di accedere alle impostazioni del browser: per farlo, visita il sito Web del quale intendi sbloccare i popup, clicca sull’icona della  finestra con la “x” rossa posta a destra dell’URL (subito prima dell’icona a forma di stellina), apponi il segno di spunta accanto alla voce  Consenti sempre popup e reindirizzamenti da [nome sito] e clicca sul pulsante  Fine , per confermare il tutto.

I passaggi necessari per disattivare il blocco dei popup su  Mozilla Firefox non sono molto dissimili da quelli visti in precedenza. Per iniziare, clicca sul pulsante ☰ collocato in alto a destra, seleziona la voce  Opzioni dal menu contestuale proposto e, giunto nella nuova scheda, recati nella sezione  Privacy & Sicurezza (l’icona del  lucchetto ).

Fatto ciò, individua il riquadro  Permessi e, per disabilitare il blocco popup per tutti i siti, rimuovi il segno di spunta dalla casella posta accanto alla voce  Blocca le finestre pop-up .

Se, invece, vuoi abilitare la visualizzazione dei popup soltanto per un determinato sito, lascia spuntata la casella menzionata poc’anzi, clicca sul pulsante  Eccezioni… collocato subito accanto, specifica l’ indirizzo del sito web di tuo interesse nell’apposito campo di testo e clicca sul pulsante  Consenti , per aggiungerlo alla lista delle eccezioni. Quando hai finito, pigia il pulsante  Salva modifiche e il gioco è fatto.

Quest’ultimo risultato può essere ottenuto anche senza accedere alle impostazioni di Firefox: visita, attraverso il browser, il  sito Web per il quale ti interessa attivare i popup, clicca sul pulsante  Opzioni situato nella barra gialla che compare in cima (che ti avvisa riguardo il tentativo di apertura di finestre popup) e scegli se  consentire al sito di aprire finestre popup o di  visualizzare uno specifico popup , avvalendoti del menu che ti viene proposto.

Anche Microsoft Edge , il browser incluso “di serie” in Windows 10, integra un efficace meccanismo interno dedicato al blocco dei popup, che può essere disattivato al bisogno.

Per accedervi, clicca sul pulsante (…) collocato in alto a destra, seleziona la voce  Impostazioni dal menu visualizzato a schermo e clicca sull’opzione  Privacy e sicurezza , situata nella barra di sinistra del pannello che compare. Per concludere, sposta su  Disattivato la levetta relativa alla voce  Blocca popup (si trova subito sotto la dicitura  Sicurezza ).

In caso di necessità, puoi abilitare selettivamente la visualizzazione dei popup per una singola pagina: per riuscirci, visita il sito Web in questione e utilizza i pulsanti che compaiono nella barra inferiore per specificare se  consentire una sola volta i popup dal sito, oppure  consentirli sempre .

Se impieghi Microsoft Edge basato su Chromium , ossia la nuova versione del browser compatibile anche con Windows 8.1, Windows 7 e macOS, fai invece così: clicca sul pulsante (…) collocato in alto a destra, scegli la voce  Impostazioni dal menu visualizzato a schermo e clicca sull’opzione Autorizzazioni sito posta sulla barra laterale di sinistra. Segui quindi le medesime istruzioni viste in precedenza per Google Chrome (la sezione dedicata a questo tipo di impostazioni è praticamente identica).

Come togliere il blocco popup su Mac

Quasi tutti i browser per  Mac , a partire da  Safari , dispongono di un sistema di blocco dei popup, abilitato per impostazione predefinita e disattivabile in qualsiasi momento.

Per rimuovere il blocco popup su Safari , dopo aver avviato il browser, apri il menu Safari > Preferenze… situato nella barra dei menu del Mac, clicca sulla scheda  Siti Web e seleziona la voce  Finestre a comparsa dalla barra laterale di sinistra.

A questo punto, imposta il menu a tendina  Quando visiti altri siti Web su  Consenti , se desideri abilitare la visualizzazione dei popup per tutti i siti Web, oppure intervieni sul menu a tendina collocato accanto ai siti che hanno fatto richiesta di apertura di popup, per consentirne la visualizzazione.

Se, in luogo di Safari, utilizzi altri browser disponibili per macOS (quali Google Chrome, Firefox o Edge basato su Chromium), puoi sbloccare la visualizzazione dei popup attenendoti agli stessi passaggi che ti ho illustrato nella sezione dedicata ai PC Windows .

Come togliere il blocco popup su Android

Al bisogno, si può disattivare il  blocco pop up anche su smartphone e tablet Android : anche in questo caso, è necessario intervenire nelle impostazioni del browser. Il mio consiglio personale, però, è di limitare al minimo l’utilizzo di questa possibilità: in genere, i popup rappresentano per lo più pubblicità invasiva e potenzialmente dannosa e, pertanto, un “tap” di troppo potrebbe condurti a conseguenze serie. Fai attenzione!

Per eliminare il blocco popup da Chrome per Android , fai tap sul pulsante (⋮) posto in alto a destra, seleziona la voce  Impostazioni dal menu che si apre e tocca le voci  Impostazioni sito e  Popup e reindirizzamenti , in modo da aprire la sezione apposita. Per concludere, sposta su ON la levetta omonima posta in cima allo schermo.

Se, invece, ti interessa attivare i popup soltanto per un sito specifico, devi recarti nella pagina di tuo interesse e sfiorare il pulsante Mostra sempre , collocato nella barra d’avviso indicante la presenza di popup, che compare in fondo allo schermo

Utilizzi un browser alternativo, come per esempio Firefox o Edge , per navigare su Internet da Android? Nessun problema, puoi attivare la visualizzazione delle schermate popup in modo altrettanto semplice.

• Mozilla Firefox – non esiste, al momento, una voce delle impostazioni preposta all’attivazione dei popup, che risultano disabilitati di default. Ciò che puoi fare, però, è intervenire sulle impostazioni avanzate del browser: dopo aver avviato Firefox, visita l’indirizzo about:config e digita, nel campo di ricerca collocato in alto, la stringa dom.disable_open_during_load . Per concludere, fai tap sull’unico risultato restituito e tocca il pulsante Imposta per impostare la variabile su  false : in questo modo, avrai disattivato il blocco popup. Per riportare le cose alla normalità, ripeti i medesimi passaggi visti poc’anzi e premi, questa volta, sul pulsante  Ripristina .
• Microsoft Edge – fai tap sul pulsante (…) collocato in basso, tocca il pulsante delle  Impostazioni situato nel menu che compare (l’icona dell’ ingranaggio ), recati nelle sezioni  Autorizzazioni sito e  Popup e reindirizzamenti e sposta su  ON la levetta che compare su schermo.

Come togliere il blocco popup su iPhone e iPad

Sei solito navigare su Internet avvalendoti del tuo  iPhone o dell’ iPad ? Non temere, anche in questo caso puoi togliere il blocco popup in modo semplicissimo.

Se il browser da te in uso è  Safari , procedi in questo modo: recati nelle  Impostazioni di iOS/iPadOS, facendo tap sull’icona a forma d’ ingranaggio sita nella schermata Home del sistema operativo, tocca la voce  Safari e sposta su  OFF l’interruttore  Blocco finestre a scomparsa . Non esiste, al momento, un’opzione per sbloccare le finestre a scomparsa in modo selettivo.

In modo abbastanza simile, è possibile togliere il blocco popup anche sui browser Chrome , Firefox ed Edge per iOS e iPadOS. Di seguito ti spiego come fare.

• Chrome – fai tap sul pulsante (…) collocato in basso a destra, seleziona la voce  Impostazioni dal pannello visualizzato e recati nelle sezioni  Impostazioni contenuti e  Blocca popup . Per concludere, sposta su  OFF la levetta collocata in cima alla schermata successiva.
• Firefox – sfiora il pulsante ☰ collocato in basso a destra, fai tap sulla voce  Impostazioni che risiede nel pannello proposto e sposta su OFF l’interruttore relativo alla voce Blocca finestre pop-up .
• Edge – tocca il pulsante (…) situato in basso, fai tap sul bottone delle Impostazioni (quello a forma d’ ingranaggio ), recati nella sezione Privacy e sicurezza e sposta su OFF la levetta relativa alla voce Blocca popup .
