A Word Of Warning
Some pop-ups may contain malicious code.
Default Policy
Remember, the default policy for pop-ups on Safari is to block and notify.
To check the default policy, do the following:
Open Safari.

ClickWebsitesand then clickPop-up Windows.
At the bottom right corner, the drop-down should haveBlock and Notifyselected.
Allowing Pop-Ups
As we mentioned earlier, you shouldnt allow pop-ups as a default policy.
Instead, however, you should allow pop-ups on a site-by-site basis.
How do you do that?
Safari makes this pretty easy.
In the resulting pop-up, hover your cursor over thePop-up Windowsoption and hit the drop-down.
SelectAllowand that site will then be able to function properly.
Click anywhere to dismiss the configs pop-up.
Go back to the site (or hit the browserRefreshbutton) and the expected pop-up should appear.
Whatever site you configured forAllowshould be listed as such.
Congratulations, youve just allowed a pop-up window for a specific site.
Just remember, allowing pop-ups as a default policy is not your best option.
If you want to browse safely, allow pop-ups only from sites you trust.
What Is a Pop-Up?
To that end, well show you how to do this on a site-by-site basis.
That way you know the site you are allowing to open wont hit you with malicious code via pop-ups.
