      @warsheepger Nope, it has been there since years before the ad-blocker.

          @warsheepger Off: Pop-ups are blocked. On: Pop-ups are allowed.

          When in a site, you can click on its badge in address bar to add it to the pop-ups exception list.

              @warsheepger How they show up? You see them just by visiting the site or they appear when you interact with the page?

                  You could add the Chrome Pop-up Blocker extension which also can block overlays as well. You need to install the "Install Chrome Extensions" extension first.

                      @warsheepger Most sites now are using overlays rather than pop-ups which is why I suggested it.

                        @warsheepger When a overlay appears simply right click on the page and then select Remove Overlay option.

                            @warsheepger Do you have a sample website, or two, that I can try and see what is happening there.

                                @warsheepger Then that's it. It's difficult for the blocker to know if you wanted to open the pop-up or not in such cases.
                                Anyway, it's subject for another topic.

                                  Since GX already has a pop-up blocker, there is no meaning in keeping this topic opened.

                                  If you want to discuss the pop-up blocker please open a new topic.
