How To Disable Pop-Ups In Google Chrome

December 30, 2008 · 2 comments

Google Chrome is a very lean and fast web browser; but it does have a few minor shortcomings. One of those is the ability to disable pop-ups.

There may be times when you need pop-ups enabled.

For example, I use a web email service that “pops-up” and new window when I want to create an email message. Well, in Google Chrome, this new window will not launch because there is no mechanism within Google Chrome to turn off pop-ups.

A work-a-round to disable pop-ups, involves modifying a setting within  “Properties” setting within the Google Chrome short-cut icon on your desktop.

You will had the following piece of code to your “Target” setting:

-disable-popup-blocking

Thus, the old setting resembles this:

“C:\WINNT\Profiles\rharris\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe”

The new and modified setting resembles this:

“C:\WINNT\Profiles\rharris\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” -disable-popup-blocking

Make sure you add a space between chrome.exe” and -disable-popup-blocking

This video shows how it is done.

Enjoy!

Good advice. Is there a way to show the list of pop-ups that have been blocked ? The list shows sometimes when “notify” is on, but disappears too quickly to take action.

Your solution for blocking Google Chrome pop ups will not work, since now, the option to uncheck “Notify me when a pop up is blocked” is no longer an option.
