If you are a regular Google Chrome user, you may at some point have received an error message that says, “Allow pop-ups for this site.” This error can be frustrating, especially when you are trying to access important information online. However, the good news is that the error is easy to fix, and this article will show you how to do it.
The first step is to check your site settings. To do this, click on the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the browser window and go to “Settings.” From there, scroll down to “Site Settings” and click on “Pop-ups and redirects.”
Once you are on the “Pop-ups and redirects” page, make sure that the toggle switch is turned on for “Allowed (recommended).”
If you are still receiving the error message after checking your site settings, you may need to manage your pop-up exceptions. To do this, go back to the “Pop-ups and redirects” page and scroll down to “Allow” and click on “Add.”
Next, enter the website URL that is giving you the pop-up error and click on “Add.” This will allow pop-ups from that specific website.
If neither of the above steps work, you may need to reset your browser settings. To do this, go to “Settings” and scroll down to “Advanced.” From there, click on “Reset and clean up,” and then click on “Reset settings to their original defaults.”
This will reset all of your browser settings back to their original defaults, including your site settings and pop-up exceptions. However, it should fix the error you are experiencing.
Overall, the “allow pop-ups” error on Google Chrome can be easily fixed by checking your site settings, managing your exceptions, or resetting your browser settings. If you are still experiencing the error after trying all of these steps, it may be worth contacting Google Chrome support for further assistance.
