(Ditto for simply 'pop-up' and also for 'blocker.' Boy, Chrome's built in pop-up blocker must have been perfect, if there were no such extensions developed anywhere.)īefore giving up, I gave it a shot on a regular Google search, and there was. lots of clicking around, you know), where it allows one to 'shop' for other extensions, I typed in the keywords 'pop-up blocker,' and nothing of relevance came up. At the Chrome store (I think that's where it was. I decided to take matters into my own hands and figured there surely must be a pop-up blocking add-on to supplement Chrome's faulty one. They take care of different problems, in my opinion, and I was not satisfied. The other advice (as above) was to install Adblock and/or Flashbock. The advice there was that if Chrome's normal pop=up blocker did not work, the issue probably was malware. I didn't find many pages on this particular problem via a general search, except for this forum: I discovered that my Chrome already disallowed pop-ups (Settings > Show advanced settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Pop-ups), so what was going on? A site I visit produces pop-ups and I decided to look into why.
