What does it mean to allow pop-ups?
All modern web browsers block popup windows by default, so if you need to access a website that uses popups, you'll need to allow popups in your web browser. You can allow popups for specific sites only; which will prevent spam or advertising popups opening on other sites.
What triggers pop-up blocker?
Most popup blockers are triggered when a popup is launched indirectly from a user action. Some popup blockers are triggered when a user clicks, but most are not. Basically, if the popup is triggered within a click handler (or code that it calls), you are generally okay.
What is a popup blocker and why is it useful?
A pop-up blocker is any program that prohibits a pop-up at some point in time. This may consist of multiple internet windows, or actual pop-ups caused by coding on a webpage. Generally, pop-up blockers are installed to avoid pop-up ads from webpages.
