Pop-ups are windows that suddenly open while browsing, and they usually show all sorts of unwanted ads. However, few websites actually use pop-ups for non-advertising purposes.
If you need to enable pop-ups in your browser, in today’s article we’ll show you how to do that, so let’s get started.
How do I enable browser pop-ups?
1. Opera One
- Click the Opera menu and choose Settings.
- Alternatively, use Alt + P
- Navigate to Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects.
- Check Allowed to allow all popups or click the Add button and choose on which websites you want to allow pop-ups.
In addition to blocking pop-ups, Opera One will also block ads thanks to the built-in adblocker. The browser also has tracking protection so it will block tracking scripts and cookies.
A built-in VPN is also available, and it’s completely free while offering unlimited bandwidth. As for additional features, there’s built-in AI and a modular AI-ready design for other AI’s integration.
The browser is light on your resources, and it should handle any website with ease, so you might want to consider trying Opera One out.
