Did your browser block that pop-up that would help you log in? Sites can use pop-ups for good reasons as well as annoying ones, but you might need them to log in or learn more about a feature. This wikiHow article teaches you how to change the settings in Google Chrome to allow pop-up ads to appear while you browse the internet, or if you only want to allow pop-up ads for a specific site, how to add a website to the "Allowed" list in the pop-up settings section of Google Chrome.

Warnings
- When you allow pop-ups on Google Chrome your computer may slow down or freeze (stop functioning). Some pop-ups can contain animation or videos that automatically start playing when the pop-up opens. This hogs your Internet speed and computer hardware causing slow web browsing or possible operating system crashes. [12] X Research sourceThanks
