How to allow pop-ups in Chrome for one site

Applies to current Chrome on desktop and mobile. Allowing pop-ups only for the sites that need them (banking, payment pages, school or work portals) is safer than turning the blocker off everywhere.

Allow pop-ups

For one site (desktop)

1. Open the site that's being blocked.
2. Click the pop-up blocked icon in the address bar.
3. Select Always allow pop-ups and redirects from the site, then Done.
4. Refresh the page and try again.

Add a site in Settings (desktop)

1. Go to ⋮ > Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings.
2. Click Pop-ups and redirects.
3. Next to Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects, click Add, enter the site address (for example [*.]example.com) and click Add.

Android

1. Open Chrome and tap ⋮ > Settings > Site settings > Pop-ups and redirects.
2. Turn the switch on to allow pop-ups, or tap a site under exceptions to change just that site.

iPhone and iPad

1. Open Chrome, tap ... > Settings > Content Settings > Block Pop-ups.
2. Turn Block Pop-ups off, or open the site and tap Always show when Chrome reports a blocked pop-up.

Still not opening?

• An ad blocker or privacy extension may be blocking it - pause the extension for that site.
• The site may open a new tab that Chrome treats as a redirect - make sure redirects are allowed too.
• Your organisation may manage pop-up settings (look for Managed by your organization in the menu).

Block pop-ups again

Go back to Site settings > Pop-ups and redirects and select Don't allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects, or remove the site from the allowed list.

Pop-ups appearing even with the blocker on

Notification spam isn't pop-ups. Check Site settings > Notifications and remove sites you don't recognise. If ads appear everywhere, review your extensions at chrome://extensions and remove ones you didn't install.
