Here’s how to manage pop-ups in Chrome on both computers and Android devices:

On a Computer:

1. Change your default settings:

   • Open Chrome.
   • Click the three dots in the top right corner (More).
   • Select “Settings.”
   • Click “Privacy and security.”
   • Click “Site settings.”
   • Under “Pop-ups and redirects,” choose the option you prefer:
     • “Blocked” to block most pop-ups.
     • “Allowed” to allow most pop-ups.

2. Block or allow specific sites:

   • Follow the same steps as above to access “Pop-ups and redirects” settings.
   • Under “Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects,” find the site you want to manage.
   • Click the three dots to the right of the site and choose “Block” or “Allow.”

On an Android Device:

1. Turn pop-ups on or off:

   • Open the Chrome app.
   • Tap the three dots in the top right corner (More).
   • Select “Settings.”
   • Tap “Permissions.”
   • Toggle the “Pop-ups and redirects” setting on or off.

2. Allow or block notifications from a specific site:

   • Open Chrome and navigate to the site you want to manage.
   • Tap the lock icon or “Info” icon to the left of the address bar.
   • Tap “Permissions.”
   • Adjust the notification settings for that site.

Additional tips:

• Consider using a third-party ad blocker extension for more comprehensive pop-up control.
