Like the title says, how can I disable that pop up whenever I open a new link on Android. I've searched on settings and on Google but I can't find anything. It's really annoying to have a Pop Up everytime I open a link on another tab.
Thank you in advance.

There is a 3 step workaround you can do this by
- You should know when the popup will be opened. Popups are blocked in chrome by default. But chrome will show a popup blocked notification in bottom right corner.
- click on notification to select always accept popup from this specific site
- Reload the main (parent) page. This will load the popup in small windows. Right click in titlebar of popup window and select "Show As Tab". Once popup is transformed in a window with tab, you can drag it back to main window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
There is the chrome extension One Window.
It is not perfect, as the popup will first be opened and then "transformed" into a tab, which you will see as a flicker. Otherwise it seems to work fine.
I've Googled this issue and there is no solution. I've tried changing the settings but it still happens. If I don't open Chrome for a while and then go to use the web browser, it opens a new tab and I have to close it every time. I have four tabs always open and I never use any more tabs. It's getting really annoying. It recently started doing it.
My theory is that Google updated Chrome to force me to look at all their news articles. If I'm unable to find a solution, I will look for a new browser.
Thanks in advance!
It's verry irritating when sites do this, especially because I use a script blocker that means sites have to be approved, The toolbar does not appear in these breakout windows.
Turn pop-ups on or off
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More. Settings.
- At the bottom, click Advanced.
- Under 'Privacy and security', click Site settings.
- Click Pop-ups and redirects.
- At the top, turn the setting to Allowed or Blocked.
I am very late to this question but if you're using Mac and your browser is in full screen mode, it always opens pop ups in a new tab. This might help some people trying to debug this issue.
On programmatically open new window and not new tab, you can do it via JQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(fncOpenNewWindow);
function fncOpenNewWindow() {
$('#testURL').unbind();
$('#testURL').on('click', function () {
window.open("", 'Window Name', "height=200,width=200,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes");
});
}
</script>
This is the control:
<a href="@Url.Action("Action", "Controller")" id="testURL">Click Me</a>
This is tested on Chrome. I haven't tested this on other browser but this should work fine with Chrome.
I have the problem too. I fixed by change toolbar=no or remove toolbar feature.
window.open('http://google.com','x', 'height=600,width=600,left=10,top=10,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no')
Chrome on Android. I've tried a couple fixes suggested by a Google search but my browser keeps spawning new tabs without asking.
So, every time I open chrome app on android phone, after it's not been used for some time, it opens a new tab. It used to open the last tab I was on, now it adds a new tab. It extremely frustrating to be forced to constantly delete tabs when they should never have been opened in the first place. Can anyone help?
I just found the perfect Chrome extension to force the Pop Out module to open my journals in a regular Chrome tab instead of a pop-up window: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-link-in-same-tab-pop/jmphljmgnagblkombahigniilhnbadca/related
Now I can have both Foundry and multiple journals opened on the same Chrome window.
I thought I would share my discovery :)
I was on a site, watching one of my fav cartoon shows. I clicked to the side of the viewing screen and a pop up is activated, chrome blocks it but gives me that notification of like "always show." I was trying to click the "x" but I accidentally clicked the always show button.
I've gone to settings and I've already made sure my pop ups and redirect setting is set to block in site settings. But this site still is able to open ads in a different window, without me knowing (it doesn't redirect me when it does that). Is there any way I can switch back the setting to block it for this site?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
