Are you facing issues with a website on macOS because your browser is blocking popups for it? Luckily, you can disable the popup blocker in major browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on your machine.
Once the blockers are disabled, any sites you open in these browsers will be allowed to launch popup windows. You also have the option to enable popups just for certain sites on your Mac.
Which Type of Popup Are We Talking About?
A popup is a small window that either opens automatically when you are on a website or opens when you click a link on the site. Shopping sites, discount sites, and such other sites often launch popup windows to grab your attention.
You shouldn’t confuse these website popups with the tiny notifications that you see on your Mac. Those notifications are generated by your system or your installed apps. They have nothing to do with the popups you see in your browsers.
How to Allow Popups in Safari on Mac
