Additional Notes

• Some external ad-blocking or security software installed on your Mac might also block pop-ups. You may need to disable or configure those apps separately

• Be cautious when allowing pop-ups globally, as some websites use them for unwanted ads or malicious content.

By following these steps, you can turn off the pop-up blocker on your Mac for Safari, Chrome, or Firefox browsers as needed.
