Pop Up Blocker

  

Block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge. The new browser recommended by Microsoft is here. Get speed, security, and privacy with the new Microsoft Edge. Pop-ups can be ads, notices, offers, or alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window, or in another tab. Some pop-ups are third-party ads that use phishing tactics—like warnings or prizes—to trick you into believing they’re from Apple or another trusted company, so you’ll share personal or financial information.

    • A website in the list: Select the website in the right column, then choose the option you want.

      You can see all websites you’ve customized under Configured Websites. If you don’t see Configured Websites, either you haven’t customized a website yet, or you’ve cleared the list. See Change Websites preferences in Safari on Mac.
