Do I need a pop-up blocker?
In general, most pop-ups are a nuisance – they are usually advertisements and can even be malware, and most people would prefer not to see them. As a general rule, you should leave your browser's pop-up blocker turned on to avoid getting these pop-ups.
Why is it important to disable pop-up blocker?
The problem is that many websites use the same code to navigate within the site that advertisements use to pop up onto the screen. Thus, when you block the pop-up ads, you're also potentially blocking your own ability to get to the next section of a webpage.
What is a popup blocker and why is it useful?
A pop-up blocker is software that prevents pop-up windows from appearing on a website. Some pop-up blockers work by immediately closing the pop-up window, while others disable the command that calls the pop-up window. Most browser software allows the user to turn the blocker on or off.
