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!
