Block pop-ups - with these settings it works

Pop-ups are browser windows that open unwanted when you visit a website. Using the settings of your browser or with the help of an external plugin, you have the possibility to prevent the annoying pop-ups.

As in Firefox, you can also activate the pop-up blocker in Chrome via the browser settings. Follow these steps to do so:

2. Switch to the "Privacy and Security" category and click on "Website Settings" in the overview.
3. Scroll down and click on the "Pop-ups and redirects" option.
