  • When you allow pop-ups on Google Chrome your computer may slow down or freeze (stop functioning). Some pop-ups can contain animation or videos that automatically start playing when the pop-up opens. This hogs your Internet speed and computer hardware causing slow web browsing or possible operating system crashes.

Why do pop

You may be getting pop-ups in Chrome because the pop-up blocker program hasn't been properly configured. Chrome features only two pop-up blocker settings: "Allow all sites to show pop-ups" and "Do not allow any site to show pop-ups (recommended)." The latter option must be selected to block pop-ups.
