To date, owners of popular Internet sites, cherishing their reputation and target audience, do not allow excessive use of such a business tool as “obtrusive advertising”. The banners closing the review and the information blocks on the monitored page popping up like “hell out of the snuff box”, to put it mildly, annoy if not everyone, then the large number of network users is for sure. Pop-ups in Chrome are blocked by default, not as efficiently as we would like, but the significant difference between the situation in the recent past and the present is very obvious. But is such a caring care on the part of browser developers always justified? Let's figure it out.
Unjustified omission
Pop-ups can be the source of the desired information. By the way, an unexpectedly popping up subscription block often becomes an extremely desirable object of attention. Since the user usually receives a bonus in the form of useful text, video or audio material. Therefore, ignoring such a useful JavaScript accent is, in general, not entirely beneficial primarily for the user. Consequently, pop-ups in Chrome or another Internet browser require a slightly different solution than the default “blocking” scenario.
Setting priorities
When the user is sure that the content of the site is really worthy of attention, and the trust is confirmed not by a momentary acquaintance, well, you should add such an Internet resource, so to speak, to the white list of “inert windows” so as not to miss a valuable thematic offer or an important message about what has begun stocks. All this is quite feasible and does not require a lot of time. Even if you, a dear reader, are a novice user, the step-by-step instructions below will help you make the necessary settings in the browser that is most suitable for you.
Google chrome
So, the pop-ups in the "Chrome", as you already know, are disabled initially. Therefore, you need to activate this option only for "trustworthy" sites.
- Go to your browser settings (upper right corner) - an icon in the form of horizontal stripes in the shape of a square.
- In the drop-down list, select "Settings".
- Scroll through the entire list and activate the last line "Show additional ...".
- Now select "Content Settings."
- In the window that appears, you need to activate the "Exception Management" button, which is located in the "Pop-ups" block.
- Enter the address of the trusted Internet resource and click Finish.
- Exit the settings menu and reload the page for the changes to take effect.
Firefox
If the pop-up windows in Chrome are initially considered disabled, then in Mozilla the status of this option may depend on the version of the program.
- If you use the latest release of the program, then the same icon (stripes in the form of a square) leads to the "Settings".
- In the drop-down menu - click on the gear icon.
- Next, click on the “Content” tab.
- Check the box next to “Block pop-ups ...”.
- Activate the “Exceptions” button. In the "Allowed sites" window, add the necessary addresses.
- Refresh the page (if it is open).
Someone is always one step ahead ...
It should be noted that often it’s not possible to completely disable pop-ups in Chrome, as inventive website developers find ways to bypass browser protection. Therefore, when an “unwanted guest” appears on the screen, you should not look for a cross or click on any block elements, since there is a high risk of clicking on the “malicious” link and infecting the computer with a virus. It is most advisable to use the right mouse button to resolve an unfavorable situation using the context menu.
Add Mancher helps block pop-ups in Chrome
A fairly effective solution when it is necessary to fundamentally prohibit any interference in the process of familiarizing yourself with the contents of a web page. The process of installing the application is not noticeable, the only negative is the program is paid. However, the test mode will allow you to appreciate the free software for 15 days. Of course, sites added to browser exceptions will also be blocked for pop-up content. However, this “omission” can be corrected in the program settings.
What threatens indiscretion
Pop-ups in the Chrome browser, as well as in any other Internet browser, can be malicious code - a virus. There are often cases when the window that appears simply ignores any active opposition from the user. As a result, the browser freezes, Windows falls into a state of "deep braking", and the virus penetrates deep into the system. All this can be avoided if you install a powerful antivirus program, constantly update the protection base and scan the system as often as possible.
Finally
You can remove pop-ups in Chrome not only by the above methods. Special extensions, which are integrated directly into the environment of the Internet browser, allow the user to feel completely safe, being on any resource of the global network. However, you should never take risks ... After all, sometimes we ignore browser warnings that "You are trying to access a site that is ...". It will be much wiser if you avoid the blacklisted resources. Remember, before you click on the mouse button or keyboard key, think about what this may lead to.
