Just a floating element in the HTML on the page that appears somewhere over some other content. The other would best be described as an overlay. Just like in Safari if you would choose File, New Window. A real window that is being created that will be separate from your regular window. It's only blocking the automatic pop-up windows, not the manual ones.Īnother thing to note is that not all pop-up windows are actually pop-up windows. So, when I do this it will show the pop-up window even though I have it blocked. I'm clicking a Link, taking an action, to open a pop-up window. The page is trying to automatically open a pop-up window so it is blocked. The difference there is automatic versus manual. So this will open up and different pop-up window than the one automatically opened when I loaded the page. Let's look at a second way that pop-up windows could appear. Let's go and change it back to Block and Notify. So now I've allowed it just for this website. You could see not only does it reload the page but it also gives me the pop-up window. So now let's try reloading this page and see what will happen. If I ever want to remove that custom setting I can select it and click the Remove button or I can just change the setting here. As soon as I've done that I now have a Custom Setting for this particular site and it will always appear here in this list. I could set it to Just Block, so don't notify, or I can set it to Allow for this website. It did know I have a pop-up window but it did give me a notification of it in the address bar. You could see it is set to Block and Notify which is exactly what it did. In this case I don't have any of those and I only have this one page open. You'll see all the sites that you currently have open, maybe in different windows or tabs, and you'll also see any place where you've set a custom option for pop-up windows. Select that and on the right you'll see a list of websites. Go to the bottom and you'll see Pop-up windows. So go to Websites and here you're going to see a list on the left of all the different ways you can customize the settings for specific websites. But still blocked on every other website. You can Allow a pop-up window, say, at your banking site so you never have to deal with it again. Well, it is under Websites because Safari will block or allow pop-up windows depending upon the site. So where is the Setting to allow pop-up windows? So if you go to Settings and you look under General there is no mention of pop-up windows there. But you won't find it in any of the menus in Safari today. Well, it used to be that you could go into, I think, the File Menu in Safari and there was an option there to Allow or Block pop-up windows. So how do you allow it if you actually want the pop-up window. As a matter of fact if I refresh you'll see a message up here, Pop-up window blocked, that appears briefly notifying you that there was an attempt to open a pop-up window but Safari said No. Except, of course, Safari is blocking it. Here I've created a sample webpage and if I were to refresh the webpage it should open a pop-up window. If you don't please unblock pop-up windows. If you have them blocked you often see a message saying you should see a new window appear. For instance, some important websites, in particular, for some reason, banking websites will often throw up a pop-up window to go to another page instead of just doing everything in the current browser window. However, there are times when you want a pop-up window. Currently few websites will ever use these because most browsers, including Safari, will block them automatically. In the past these have been annoyances in the web browser when you get a window opening up that you don't want. So pop-up windows are when you go to a webpage and a second web browser window opens up. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts. There you can read more about the Patreon Campaign.
