Safari (Windows) - Enable or Disable the Pop-Up Blocker

This document explains how to enable and disable Safari's pop-up blocker.

For general information on pop-up blockers, see Pop-Up Blocker - FAQ.

    1. Open Safari.
    2. Open the Tools menu by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner.
    3. From the drop-down menu, click Block Pop-Up Windows to either enable or disable the blocker. Clicking this will either add or take away a blue checkmark to the left of Block Pop-Up Windows. If there is a checkmark present, the blocker is turned on (see the area outlined in red in the example image below for a visual).  

    Click Tools, then Block Pop-Up Windows.
