Block new pop up web page windows by default

The Microsoft Edge feature that blocks pop-ups is effective in preventing websites from automatically opening a new window or tab, or a partial window on top of your current web page. This feature is turned on by default. 

There are many different types of pop-ups, including advertisements, notices, offers, or alerts that can appear at various times on any web page. Some can be helpful, such as when a bank website displays your monthly statement in a pop-up window. Pop-ups can also be distracting or malicious, engaging in phishing tactics such as warnings, prizes, or free downloads, to gain your trust in a potential scam.   

Note: If you are receiving unwanted website notifications, please see Manage website notifications in Microsoft Edge. Website notifications appear in the notification center, located in the lower right corner of your device.

How to block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge

1. In Edge, go to Settings and more  at the top of your browser.

   

2. Select Settings  > Cookies and site permissions.

3. Under All permissions, select Pop-ups and redirects.

4. Turn on the Block (recommended) toggle.

When this feature is turned on and a pop-up has been blocked, Edge will display the following image in your web browser’s address bar.   

       

What to do if you still see pop-ups

If you continue to receive pop-ups after turning this feature on, try the following solutions:

• Make sure Edge is up to date: Select Settings and more  > Settings  > About Microsoft Edge . If there is an update available, you can apply it from here.

• Scan your device for malware:For more, see Stay protected with Windows Security.

• Disable your extensions: Check if an extension is interfering. Select Settings and more  > Extensions > Manage extension, then turn each extension off. If pop-ups are now being blocked, turn on extensions one at a time to determine which one is causing the issue.

• Block third-party cookies:To do this, select Settings and more  > Settings  > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data, and turn on Block third-party cookies.

• Clear your browser cache: For more, see View and delete browser history in Microsoft Edge.

What cannot be blocked by the pop-up blocker?  

If you still see pop-ups within a web page once this feature is turned on and you have tried the solutions listed above, they may be website advertisements created to look like pop-ups. Website advertisements cannot be blocked by the Edge pop-up blocker. Edge also does not prevent a pop-up from opening if you select a button or link on a web page.

A reader asked us a simple question that, well, isn’t so simple. ‘How do I block pop up windows in Windows 7 and Windows 8?’ he said. That and no more.

It’s not simple because it is such a broad question. So we’ve taken a broad approach. In this article I’ll show you how to prevent pop ups appearing when you are browsing the web with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, when using Windows 7 or Windows 8. I’ll also show you how to remove annoying pop up windows from the Windows Desktop, by removing the program that is causing them – often an expired AV program.

It should be said that some pop ups are unavoidable: if your PC is at risk, Windows will want to warn you. In almost all cases there is a checkbox that allows you to dismiss that and future messages, but the nagging voice of sense is a part of Windows that will never go away. As a general point, however, a pop up message that isn’t from Windows itself is likely to be a sign of some software being up to no good. As with all Windows PCs and laptops you must ensure you are running solid and up-to-date security software. See our 
Best antivirus for PC and laptop.

If you see an unwanted pop-up every time you boot your PC or laptop, it is pretty much guaranteed that some software you neither need nor want is installed. We’ll address that issue first, before tackling annoying pop-ups when you are browsing the web.

How to get rid of annoying pop ups on the Desktop

As we mentioned above there are some pop ups that Windows itself sends your way. These have been reduced in Windows 7 and Windows 8, but they will never go away entirely. And, well, they’re important.

However, some programs you have installed intentionally or unwittingly will continue to nag you long after you have had a use for them. Below we’ll show you how to install a program that is nagging you. But first a word of caution: if your security software, your antivirus, is asking you to update, you may have out of date protection and you need to do something about it. But that doesn’t mean you have to pay to renew. You could delete the program as outlined below, and then
turn on the free Windows Defender.

So, if you keep seeing an annoying nagging window asking you to update or pay for software you no longer use, you should uninstall that program. If you don’t know it’s name, open up the task manager when it is doing its annoying trick and you’ll find it listed there.

In both Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can uninstall a program by opening Programs and Features. In Windows 7 click the Start button, Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then choose Programs and Features. In Windows 8 just open up the Search charm and type in Programs and Features.

Select the program you want to kill and click Uninstall. Some programs include the option to change or repair the program in addition to uninstalling it, but many offer only the option to uninstall. Choose Uninstall, then confirm your choice. And you’re done.

How to stop pop ups when browsing the web

Also check out our round-up of the
best ad-blockers.

Here’s how to stop pop ups appearing when browsing with IE (Internet Explorer). Open Internet Explorer. Click the tools button (it is in the top righthand corner and looks like a cog), then select internet options. Go to the Privacy tab, and under Pop-up Blocker, select the Turn on Pop-up Blocker check box, and then tap or click ok.

If this box is clicked and you are still seeing pop ups, hit Settings, and in the Pop-up Blocker Settings window that appears go to the bottom and find ‘Blocking level’. Change the droop-down from the default ‘Medium: Block most automatic pop-ups’ to ‘High: Block all pop-ups (Ctrl+Alt to override)’.

Here’s how to stop pop ups appearing when browsing with Firefox. First, open up Firefox.

At the top lefthand corder of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options, then select the Content panel. You’ll see a checkbox entitled ‘Block pop-up windows’. Ensure it is checked. Unlike IE there are no levels of pop-up blocking: just on or off. Exceptions allows you to add a list of sites that you want to allow to display pop-ups.

Here’s how to stop pop ups appearing when browsing with Chrome.

By default Google Chrome simply prevents pop-ups from automatically appearing and cluttering your screen. Whenever the browser blocks pop-ups for a site, the blocked pop-up alert icon appears in the address bar.

You can check that this is in place by opening Chrome and clicking the options icon, it looks like three horizontal lines and can be found in the top righthand corner of the window. Click it, then scroll down and select ‘Settings’. Now scroll down to the bottom and click ‘Show advanced settings’. Then find and choose ‘Content settings’, under ‘Privacy’. Like Firefox you can now choose to allow all or no pop-ups, and choose to add exceptions.

How to stop pop-ups on Internet Explorer

The latest version of Internet Explorer, IE 11, comes with capabilities to enable and disable Internet Explorer pop-up blockers. This process will only block pop-ups, and not all ads. If you want to block all ads in your browser, installing an ad blocker extension will do the job.

Here’s how to block pop-ups in Internet Explorer:

1. Open Internet Explorer and select Tools (the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the browser).

   

2. Select Internet Options from the menu.

   

3. Select the tab Privacy when the dialog box opens. 

   

4. Check the box to block pop-ups in the section called Pop-up Blocker. (This may already be checked, as IE blocks pop-ups by default.)

   

5. Select Apply to save the changes. The Internet Explorer pop-up blocker is now enabled.

   

If you’re already poking around the Tools section, you can also try deleting your cookies and clearing your browser history so that your browsing is faster and smoother overall. As mentioned above, since Internet Explorer is no longer being updated, you should switch to another browser with strong privacy and security features.

How to stop Microsoft Edge pop-ups

Depending on the version of Edge you have, pop-ups may already be blocked by default. Here’s how to find the pop-up blocker so you can stop pop-ups in Microsoft Edge.

1. Open a new browser window and go to the user menu (click the three horizontal dots on the right side).

   

2. Select Settings (near the bottom of the menu). The Settings menu should open in a new tab.

   

3.  Select Cookies and site permissions in the Settings menu.

   

4. Go to Pop-ups and redirects.

   

5. Toggle the Block setting to on if it isn’t already. This should stop all Microsoft Edge pop-ups.

   

Blocking pop-ups on Edge and IE takes just a few clicks. If you’ve blocked pop-ups and still see them, your computer may have some type of malware or an unwanted browser extension installed. In that case, you should uninstall any unrecognized browser extensions and use strong antivirus software to find the problem. 

While blocking pop-ups on Edge and IE is pretty easy, there are other web browsers that make blocking pop-ups even easier — while offering strong security protections. Avast Secure Browser is a dedicated privacy browser that, along with blocking pop-ups, also automatically blocks all ads and other intrusive content that slows down your browsing. 

Avast Secure Browser also has advanced built-in security features such as malicious site blocking and forced HTTPS encryption, making your browsing much more secure. With all these features and more, it’s time you switched to a modern browser.

Looking to block pop-ups in Chrome?

You can block pop-ups in every browser, including Chrome. You’ll find the option to block or unblock pop-ups in the settings. To learn more, check out our guides for blocking pop-ups in Chrome, managing pop-ups in Firefox, and allowing or blocking pop-ups in Safari.

Should I block pop-ups?

You should block pop-ups if you want to see fewer ads or notifications while using your PC. But some sites use pop-ups to open a new window or for online forms, and if all pop-ups are blocked, some sites might not work properly.

To make sure all the sites you visit work as they should, learn how to allow certain pop-ups while keeping others blocked. Read on to learn how to enable pop-ups in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

How to allow pop-ups on Internet Explorer (IE)

If you want to experience all the features of certain websites, here’s how to allow pop-ups on Internet Explorer:

1. Open Internet Explorer and select Internet Options from the Tools menu.

   

2. In the Internet Options dialog box that opens, go to the Privacy tab.

   

3. Uncheck the Turn on Pop-up Blocker box to enable all pop-ups in IE. To allow pop-ups only on certain websites, skip this step and continue with the steps below.

   

4. Select the Settings button in the Pop-up Blocker section. A new dialog box called Pop-Up Blocker Settings should appear.

   

5. Go to the “Address of website to allow” field and type in the address of the website you want to allow pop-ups on. Repeat as necessary for each website whose pop-ups you want to allow.

   

How to allow pop-ups on Microsoft Edge

For Microsoft Edge, the process of allowing pop-ups is very similar to blocking pop-ups. Here’s how to allow pop-ups on Edge:

1. Open your Edge browser, go to the user menu (the three horizontal dots in the upper right), and select Settings.

   

2. Select Cookies and site permissions in the Settings menu.

   

3. Scroll down and click Pop-ups and redirects.

   

4. Toggle Block to off.

   

5. Click the Add button in the Allow box to allow pop-ups on specific sites.

   

6. Type or paste the website address in the Add a site box. Repeat this for each site you want to allow pop-ups on.

   

And it’s as simple as that. Now you can allow and block pop-ups however you want. In the Edge browser menu you can also adjust other settings, such as enabling and disabling cookies. To keep your browser in top shape, be sure to use a browser cleaning tool to get rid of clutter and other junk that builds up over time.

Should I allow pop-ups?

Allowing pop-ups for certain sites can make your browsing experience easier. While many pop-ups are annoying ads or even links to unsafe websites, they can sometimes be useful. Some sites may display their terms of service or other important information in a pop-up. 

Pop-ups may also be used to show download notifications or dialog boxes. And sometimes, videos can appear as pop-ups. The best approach for most browsers is to keep pop-ups blocked by default, and to add sites to your allow pop-ups list when necessary.

Browse uninterrupted with Avast Secure Browser

You can fool around with the settings in Edge or IE, or you can block pop-ups immediately with the free Avast Secure Browser. Our advanced browser automatically blocks all pop-ups, or you can choose from three tiers of blocking preferences: Light, Basic, and Strict, which you can easily adjust to suit your needs.

Avast Secure Browser blocks pop-ups automatically for a better browsing experience.

And Avast Secure Browser offers even more by default: ad blocking, automatic HTTPS encryption, and an assortment of other features that block malicious websites, phishing attacks, and third-party attempts to get your personal data. For a smoother, safer browsing experience without having to bother with changing the settings, switch to Avast Secure Browser today.

Configuring your web browser to allow pop-up windows

Most web browsers include a feature to block pop-up windows. While this may eliminate unwanted or bothersome pop-up windows, the feature sometimes can impede the functionality of legitimate or useful websites.

Some popular Penn-affiliated websites requiring pop-ups include U@Penn and the Penn Online Directory.

Follow the instructions below to configure your web browser to allow pop-up windows for your selected websites.

Note: If you have installed third party applications to block pop-ups (examples include the Google, MSN, and Yahoo! toolbars), be sure to consult the vendor documentation to allow pop-up windows for desired websites.

Safari (macOS)

Safari for macOS has no per-website control over blocking pop-up windows. Pop-ups are either blocked, or they are not. To allow pop-ups:

Note: If you are concerned about allowing pop-ups globally for all websites that you browse, consider using another web browser that allows website exceptions such as Chrome or Firefox.

Internet Explorer (Windows)

When a website attempts to launch a new pop-up window, you may see dialog boxes alerting you of pop-up windows that have been blocked. Follow the instructions below to allow pop-up windows on a per-website basis.

Notes: Pasting the web address of a page you wish to allow pop-ups is recommended, rather than typing the generic main web address. For example, you might visit www.example.com/requirepopup.html, but the page is actually hosted at popup.example.com/forms/popupform.html. In this example, you must allow popup.example.com, not www.example.com. Note also that entire websites must be allowed, not individual directories or pages, so in this example Internet Explorer will automatically add the top level popup.example.com to its Allowed sites.

Edge (Windows 10 only)

Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 has no per-website control over blocking pop-up windows. Pop-ups are either blocked, or they are not. To allow pop-ups:

Note: If you are concerned about allowing pop-ups globally for all websites that you browse, consider using another web browser that allows website exceptions such as Chrome or Firefox.

Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting

This document explains all of the settings available in Mozilla Firefox for controlling pop-ups.

Table of Contents

What are pop-ups?

Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, are windows that appear automatically without your permission. They vary in size but usually don’t cover the whole screen. Some pop-ups open on top of the current Firefox window, while others appear underneath Firefox (pop-unders).

When blocking a pop-up, Firefox displays an information bar (if it hasn’t been previously dismissed – see below), as well as an icon in the address bar.

When you click either the Options Preferences button in the info bar or the icon in the address bar, a menu is displayed with the following choices:

Pop-up blocker settings

To access the pop-up blocker settings:

Pop-ups not being blocked

Is the pop-up coming from Firefox?

The pop-up may not actually be coming from Firefox. You can determine where the pop-up is coming from by the appearance of the window.

Is the pop-up blocker on and enabled for this site?

Is the pop-up shown after a mouse click or a key press?

Certain events, such as clicking or pressing a key, can spawn pop-ups regardless of if the pop-up blocker is on. This is intentional, so that Firefox doesn’t block pop-ups that websites need to work.

Is it a true pop-up window?

Sometimes ads are designed to look like windows, but really aren’t. Firefox’s pop-up blocker can’t stop these ads.

Mozilla surveys

When you visit a Mozilla website, sometimes you’ll see a pop-up asking you to participate in a survey. The only third-party that Mozilla ever uses for surveys is SurveyGizmo, which has been vetted by our legal and privacy teams. The Firefox pop-up blocker doesn’t block these pop-ups.

About pop-up ads and windows in Safari

Learn how to block pop-up windows and handle persistent ads on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.

Pop-ups can be ads, notices, offers, or alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window, or in another tab. Some pop-ups are third-party ads that use phishing tactics—like warnings or prizes—to trick you into believing they’re from Apple or another trusted company, so you’ll share personal or financial information. Or they might claim to offer free downloads, software updates, or plugins, to try to trick you into installing unwanted software.

Unless you’re confident of an ad’s legitimacy, you should avoid interacting with pop-ups or webpages that seem to take over your screen. Here are additional tips that can help you manage pop-ups and other unwanted interruptions.

Check and update your software

Always make sure you install the latest software updates for all your Apple products. Many software releases have important security updates and may include improvements that help control pop-ups.

The safest place to download apps for your Mac is the App Store. If you need third-party software for your Mac, and it isn’t available in the App Store, get it directly from the developer or another reliable source, rather than through an ad or link.

Check Safari settings and security preferences

Make sure Safari security settings are turned on, particularly Block Pop-ups—for pop-up windows—and the Fraudulent Website Warning.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning.

On your Mac, you can find these options in Safari > Preferences. The Websites tab includes options to block some or all pop-up windows, and you can turn on fraudulent site warnings in the Security tab.

Pop-ups and ads in Safari

If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.

Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble the close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you’re unsure, avoid interacting with the pop-up or ad and close the Safari window or tab.

On your Mac, you can also update your settings to prevent windows from opening again after you close Safari, or just press and hold the Shift key when you open Safari.

If you might have installed adware or other unwanted software on your Mac

If you see pop-ups on your Mac that just won’t go away, you might have inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-supported software) or other unwanted software. Certain third-party download sites might include programs that you don’t want with the software that you install.

If you think that you might have malware or adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of macOS. If your Mac is already running the latest version, restart it. macOS includes a built-in tool that removes known malware when you restart your Mac.

Check your Applications folder to see if you have any apps that you didn’t expect and uninstall them. You can also check the Extensions tab in Safari preferences to check if you installed any unnecessary extensions that you’d prefer to turn off. If you continue to see advertising or other unwanted programs on your Mac, contact Apple.

Проблема

Браузеры по политике безопасности разрешают открывать всплывающее окно, только, если пользователь непосредственно предпринял для этого какие-то действия. Например, этот код будет работать:

$("someElement").on("click", function(){
    window.open("http://yandex.ru")
}

А теперь допустим, что нам надо сделать запрос к API, чтобы получить ссылку и только после этого открыть окно с этой ссылкой.
Таким образом, код уже не будет работать, тк окно уже открывается не по действию пользователя:

$.get("someURL").done(function(res){
    window.open(res);
});

Соответственно можно решить задачу так:
1. Заранее получить нужную ссылку, но в таком варианте отпадает возможность передачи каких либо параметров по действию пользователя для формирования ссылки
2. сделать запрос синхронным, что не вариант
3. подумать получше

Третий способ

А что, если открыть окно заранее с пустой ссылкой, для юзабилити и радости глаз нарисовать в окне индикатор загрузки, а после того как ссылка будет сформирована подменить location?

Пробуем, все работает.

Собственно небольшой кусочек кода:

 var win = window.open("", params)
//делаем красивости в win.document или втыкаем адрес открываем не пустую ссылку, а заранее заготовленную на сервере заглушку
$.get("someURL").done(function(res){
    win.document.location = res;
});
