Pop-up windows can help or get in the way. Some websites will only work if you let pop-ups through. For instance, a bank’s website might use pop-ups to show your monthly bills. Some websites might have ads that pop up on your screen.
You can accept pop-ups on certain websites or block them on all websites. If you’re not sure if you want to block pop-ups on a website, you can choose to block and be told when the site wants to show a pop-up. Then you can decide if you want to show the pop-up.
