Safari’s Blocking of Pop-ups

Pop-ups are blocked on Safari to help protect you from malicious websites and intrusive advertisements. Safari uses the same security settings for all websites, so if a pop-up appears to be from a legitimate website, the browser might still block it. Safari also blocks pop-ups from automatically opening up when you visit a website, whch can help protect you from malicious ads and pop-up scams. Additionally, Safari can detect when a website is trying to open multiple pop-ups in order to overwhelm your browser and prevent you from closing them. When this happens, Safari will block all subsequent pop-ups in order to keep your browsing experience safe.
