How to disable Safari's pop-up blocker - without risking your security
"You're on your MacOS device, shopping for a holiday gift for your loved one. You find the perfect item and decide it has to be purchased. You go through the shopping cart process and decide to pay with PayPal. You click the pay button, and nothing happens. Nothing. You click the pay button again, and nothing happens. Again and again and again... with no results. What gives?"
"Of course, there's more to it than that. If you were to disable the global blocking of pop-up windows, every single site you visit would be able to open that PayPal pop-up. The good news is you have two options: The choice is yours, but the best option is to leave the pop-up blocker enabled and create exceptions. Let me show you how to do both."
Pop-ups can be harmful in some cases and necessary in others. Safari may block pop-ups and prevent third-party PayPal login prompts from opening, causing payment failures. Users can either disable the pop-up blocker globally or create exceptions for specific sites. Disabling the global blocker allows every site to open pop-ups, increasing risk. The recommended approach is to keep the pop-up blocker enabled and add exceptions for trusted sites that require pop-ups. An updated Safari with security patches is required before changing settings. Allowing pop-ups globally will permit all sites to open windows until the setting is changed back.
