Safari Icon   Blocking pop-up windows

Web pages sometimes display pop-up windows when you open or close the page. For example, a web page might use a pop-up window to request login information from you or display advertising.

Blocking pop-up windows only stops pop-up windows that open when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link.

To block pop-up windows, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Click to select the "Block pop-up windows" checkbox.

If you block pop-up windows, you might miss important information for a web page.
