Pop-ups can be frustrating, especially when they block your view while scrolling, but sometimes you need them to access a website. Some websites need pop-ups to work correctly.
If you visit such websites, you must disable Microsoft Edge’s Pop-up Blocker. The option under Edge settings is easy to find, so activating it frequently should be simple. Here’s how to disable Edge’s pop-up blocker.
