2.       Navigate to Permissions: In the Settings menu, select Cookies and site permissions from the left-hand pane. 

3.       Find Pop-ups and Redirects: In the center pane, scroll down to find All permissions and then select Pop-ups and redirects. 

4.       Adjust the Blocker:

  • To Block Pop-ups: Turn the Block (recommended) toggle switch on. 
  • To Allow Pop-ups: Turn the Block toggle switch off. 

5.       Manage Exceptions: To allow pop-ups from a specific website, click the Add button next to the "Allow" section and enter the website's address.
