How To Allow Pop-ups On Safari

Pop-ups are small new windows that are generated automatically by the webpage you’re browsing. You might have disabled pop-ups on your Safari browser as most pop-ups are associated with intrusive advertisements or spam links.

However, pop-ups are essential at times, as they contain important sign-up or login forms, especially on banking websites. So, let’s see how you can allow pop-ups on the Safari browser.

On Mac

It is pretty easy to allow pop-ups on the Mac version of Safari. Here’s how you can do so:

1. Click on Safari at the top.
2. Select Preferences/Settings.
3. Go to the Websites tab.
4. Scroll down to the Pop-up Windows option and click on it.
5. Besides When visiting other websites, choose the Allow option. (This will allow all pop-ups from any website that you haven’t set a custom setting for.)

Additionally, you can also set up custom pop-up settings for individual websites in Safari. For instance, you can only allow specific websites from being able to open pop-ups in your browser. Follow the steps below to do so:

1. Open the website that you want to allow pop-ups for in Safari.
2. Click on Safari at the top.
3. Go to Preferences/Settings > Websites > Pop-up Windows.
4. Besides When visiting other websites option, make sure you’ve set the Block and Notify or Block option.
5. Under Currently Open Website, select the drop-down menu beside the website you want to allow pop-ups for.
6. Choose the Allow option. (Now, only this website will be able to open pop-ups in your browser.)
7. If you want to allow pop-ups for another website, repeat the same process.

On iOS

In the iOS version of Safari, you can enable pop-ups from the Settings application. However, unlike Mac Safari, you can’t set up custom pop-up settings for individual websites. Anyway, here’s how you can allow pop-ups on the iOS version of Safari.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Locate Safari and click on it.
3. Scroll down to General, and toggle off the Block Pop-ups option.
