Allow or Block Pop-ups in Chrome on iPhone & iPad

Google Chrome includes a pop-up blocker feature that is enabled by default, which prevents websites from opening new tabs unintentionally. It protects us from redirecting to misleading or phishing sites, which scammers commonly use.

However, you can turn off the ‘Block Pop-ups’ switch under the Content Settings to temporarily allow pop-ups.
