How to allow pop-ups in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Learn how to enable pop-ups in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to access essential website features with ease.

Allow pop-up windows in Safari

It seems like we put so much effort into blocking things like pop-ups and ads when we’re browsing the web that we forget about sites that actually use pop-ups for good reasons. It could be a shopping site where you get a confirmation, a CMS where you can use tools or a social site where you log in.

In Safari on iPhone or iPad, you can allow pop-ups globally; and on Mac, you can even allow them just for the specific sites you want.

Allow pop-ups in Safari on iPhone and iPad

On iPhone and iPad, you cannot currently specify which sites you want to allow pop-ups for. It’s a global setting that you can enable or disable. The best option to allow pop-ups for a particular site is to turn off the setting, visit the website you want to see the pop-ups for, and then turn the setting back on.

Open the Settings app and select Apps > Safari .  Turn off the toggle for Block Pop-ups .

Turn off Block Pop-ups in Safari settings on iPhone

When you finish visiting the site whose pop-ups you want to see, you should strongly consider turning the Block Pop-ups setting back on. Otherwise, you could end up inundated with ads or even unsafe pop-ups on your device.

Allow pop-ups in Safari on Mac

You have a couple of ways to allow pop-ups in Safari on Mac for the sites you trust. You can do this in the browser settings or with the site active in Safari. By taking a few moments to configure certain sites, you’ll save some aggravation later, waiting for that pop-up that never comes.

Allow when on the website

Let’s assume you clicked a link that triggered a new pop-up window. But if you have restricted pop-up windows in settings, the pop-up window won’t open and display a message temporarily in the Safari address bar. Besides that, it will show a tiny pop-up icon . Simply click that icon in the address bar, and it will open the blocked pop-up window.

Show blocked pop-up window in Safari on Mac

When starting a live chat with Apple Support or downloading booked train tickets, I always use this method to allow the website to open the requested pop-up window.

Allow pop-ups in Safari settings

  • Open Safari and click Safari > Settings or Preferences from the menu bar.
  • Select the Websites tab.
  • On the left, scroll down to and pick Pop-Up Windows .
  • To the right, you have your Currently Open Websites at the top with any Configured Websites at the bottom. Next to each, select the drop-down box and pick Allow for those you want to allow pop-ups.

Safari Preferences, Websites Tab, Pop-up Windows Setting on Mac

For sites that you don’t want to allow or that you want to be notified — select either Block or Block and Notify in that drop-down box.

At the bottom, next to When visiting other websites , you have a drop-down box with those three options as well. This is a global setting that covers all other sites you visit that you have not yet configured.

Safari Preferences, Websites Tab, Pop-up Windows Global Setting on Mac

Allow pop-ups in the Safari window

  • Right-click the address bar for the site you’re viewing and select Settings for site name or Settings For This Website .
  • In the small window that appears, go down to Pop-up Windows .
  • Use the drop-down box to choose Allow to see pop-ups for that website. Obviously, you can choose Block or Block and Notify for those you don’t want to see pop-ups.

Safari Settings for This Website Allow Pop-ups on Mac

When you use this method to adjust pop-ups for particular websites, these sites will then be added to the Configured Websites list in your Safari Settings, as explained above.

Hopefully, Apple will offer the ability to configure pop-ups for specific sites in Safari on iPhone and iPad at some point, just like on Mac. But in the meantime, you do have a way to allow pop-ups for the sites you want on all your devices.

Which types of websites do you want or need to see pop-ups for? And will you take the time to make sure you can? Let us know!

Allow or block Popups in Safari

Published at: Mar 9, 2022

By default, Safari blocks popup windows from automatically appearing. But since some popups are legitimate and useful this guide will show you how to tell Safari to allow those pop-ups, block others, and change your settings to how you want them.

Go to the webpage with the pop-up window that you want to allow

To allow a pop-up window to open in Safari, you first need to go to the web page that tries to open the pop-up.

If you want to just test these steps out, you can use our Pop-ups detection page to experiment with; it will open a pop-up window you can test with.

A screenshot showing a blocked pop-up

The above image is a screenshot of our pop-ups detection page, showing you what it looks like when Safari isn't allowing pop-up windows to be shown, but please visit the actual page you're trying to use and want to allow pop-ups on.

Temporarily show the blocked pop-up window in Safari

When you visit a page that tries to show you a pop-up window but is blocked by Safari, you will see a warning in the Address Bar:

Safari's Address Bar, showing the icon that indicates a pop-was blocked

This is a temporary change - Safari will only remember that you want to allow pop-ups from this website just in this tab , and only while it is still open. If you close the tab or open other browser tabs/windows and go back to the same website, you will have to click the icon again and allow Safari to open the pop-up window. However you can tell Safari to remember your preference for this website and permanently allow pop-ups from a website...

Permanently allow pop-ups from a website in Safari

The easiest way to tell Safari to always allow pop-ups from the website you are visiting, is to go to the website and right click (or hold ⌃ Control and click) on the address bar. You will see a menu appear that contains an item: Settings for This Website... .

Safari's Address Bar, showing the Settings for This Website option

Click Settings for This Website... and in the small dialog window that appears, next to the section that says Pop-up Window - click the Block and Notify option and you will see three options appear:

Safari's Address Bar, showing the Settings for This Website option

  • Block and Notify is the default behaviour for Safari and will cause Safari to block pop-up windows from this website, Safari will show you the small notice in the Address Bar every time a pop-up is blocked.
  • Block will cause Safari to block pop-up windows from this website and not even tell you
  • Allow will cause Safari to let the website you are visiting always open pop-up windows

Choose the option you want for Safari, remembering that this is changing the setting just for this website .

Once you have selected the pop-ups setting for this site, you can click away from the little window and keep browsing. If you have enabled popups for a website you can refresh the page in Safari and it should allow the popup window to open this time.

Change saved pop-ups settings in Safari

Even if you have saved custom settings for pop-ups in Safari, you can reset or modify them easily. First, open Safari's preferences by clicking the Safari menu and then choosing Preferences.

Click the "Websites" tab

In Safari's Preferences window, click the Websites tab, to show preferences for websites.

Remove site settings, and change the default pop-up behaviour

On the Pop-ups settings screen, you can do a few things:

  • Change custom settings for sites , by clicking the select field next to the site and choosing a new option
  • Removing the pop-ups preference for a website , by selecting it and then clicking Remove
  • Configure the default pop-ups behaviour for all new websites by

Once you have changed Safari's pop-up preferences, you can simply close the Preferences window and resume using Safari.

How to Enable or Disable Safari Pop-up Blocker on Mac

pop up open safari

Arshmeet has been a tech tinkerer since childhood, but she realized her love for technology and writing about 5 years ago. Since then, she has been honing her skills and helping people figure out how things work, troubleshoot problems, choose the right app and products, and dig deep into the new and old concepts of technology. She is a self-professed Apple Enthusiast who loves debating what’s good and what’s not. It is her passion for finding techniques, hacks, apps, and products that make everyday life simpler.

Like any good browser, Safari comes equipped with a built-in pop-up blocker. While the feature is built to enhance your browsing experience , sometimes you’ll need to allow pop-ups to complete the task. So, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to Enable or Disable Safari Pop-up Blocker on your Mac.

Enable_or_Disable_Safari_Pop up_Blocker_on_Mac

On one hand, pop-up blockers block unwanted advertisements and potentially harmful content from affecting your workflow. On the other hand, certain reliable websites like internet banking portals, payment gateways, online shopping, etc., use these pop-ups to smoothen workflow. Naturally, managing Safari pop-ups is a balancing act, so let us help you through it.

Why Should You Block or Allow Pop-Ups in Safari

When exploring a website (even a trusted one) pop-ups can randomly show up and ask you to do things that you really don’t want to, from clicking on an ad to sharing your email address. Safari’s pop-up ad blocker on iPhone or Mac serves as a defense mechanism against intrusive and potential threats such as malware and phishing scams.

However, there are legitimate scenarios where pop-ups can be beneficial or say necessary. These pop-ups are often used by websites to collect information( such as log-ins, permissions, etc.) or deliver content in a separate web browser window. In those scenarios, you’ll have to turn off the pop-up blocker or allow a pop-up in Safari for that particular website.

In essence, it is essential to understand how to manage pop-ups to optimize your browsing experience.

Block or Unblock Pop-Ups in Safari for One Website

Step 1 : Open Safari on your Mac and launch the Websites.

Step 2 : Next, select Safari → Setting or Preferences from the menu bar.

Go to Safari Settings

Step 3 : Go to the Websites tab, scroll down, and select Pop-up Windows from the left sidebar.

Step 4 : Click the drop-down menu for the website and select either of the following,

  • Allow – The Safari browser will allow all pop-ups from all websites)
  • Block and Notify – macOS Safari will block incoming pop-ups and inform you about the same
  • Block – Safari will simply block pop-ups without informing you. Suitable for focused work and reading

Block or Unblock Pop Ups in Safari for One Website

Alternatively, you can also allow Safari pop-ups for selected websites while surfing. When the website is active, right-click the website’s address from the address bar and select Settings for (website name).

FAQs Regarding Disabling or Enabling Pop-Up Blocker

While macOS security doesn’t easily allow viruses or bloatware to be installed, there are certainly risks involved. Moreover, hackers can use these to collect personal information. So, overall allowing all pop-ups is definitely not safe.

As a general rule, it’s a good practice to block all pop-ups by default. However, you can choose to Allow or Block and Notify them for trusted websites that require pop-ups for essential features.

Safari’s built-in pop-up blocker is generally sufficient for most users. However, if you frequently encounter pop-up issues or want more advanced features, third-party ad-blocker extensions can be used. Although, it is advised to use a blocker from reputable sources to avoid potential security risks.

Happy and Safe Surfing

Enabling or disabling pop-ups in Safari or any other browser on Mac is an essential skill for smooth and safe browsing. So we advise that you not just master the hack but share this article with your friends and colleagues to help them defend against unwanted pop-ups and phishing attempts.

Troubleshooting, how to allow pop-up windows in safari for mac.

How to allow pop-up windows in Safari for Mac

Pop-up windows on the web may be annoying in general, but many financial, banking, and tax websites use pop-ups to display documents or additional information. Thus while many people think of web pop-ups as frustrating or bad, sometimes they’re a necessary part of using a particular website or accessing some material. But pop-up windows are disabled by default in Safari for the Mac.

If you’re a Safari user on the Mac and you need access to pop-up windows for whatever reason, there are several options available to enable pop-ups for websites viewed in Safari. We’l show you how to enable all pop-up windows for all websites, and two ways to enable pop-ups for specific websites in Safari.

How to Enable Pop-Ups for Specific Websites in Safari for Mac

If you know of a specific website that uses pop-up windows, you can enable pop-ups for that particular website rather easily through Safari preferences:

  • Open the Safari app if you have not done so already, then navigate to the web site you want to enable popups for
  • Pull down the “Safari” menu and choose “Preferences”
  • Select the “Websites” tab then click on “Pop-Up Windows” from the left side menu
  • Locate the website URL in the list, then click the dropdown selection menu next to that URL and choose “Allow”

Enable pop up windows for specific website in Safari for Mac

  • Close Safari Preferences

This is a great approach because it allows you to block all general pop-up windows in Safari still, while allowing them on specific websites that you know require the use of pop-ups to function properly.

How to Quickly Enable Pop-Ups on a Website in Safari for Mac

If you’re on a given website and it attempts to open a pop-up, Safari will notify* you of it doing so, and then you can act on that to allow the pop-up window to become visible, here’s how:

  • From Safari, navigate to the web site you want to enable popups for
  • When a pop-up window is attempted to display, you’ll notice the URL bar changes to a message stating ‘Pop-up Window Blocked’, now click the little pop-up window icon to allow pop-up windows for the currently active website

Allow pop-ups per website in Safari for Mac

* Note this particular feature requires the “Block & Notify” setting to be enabled in the “Pop-Up Windows” settings section of Safari Preferences.

How to Enable All Pop-Ups in Safari for Mac

If you want to enable all pop-up windows in Safari for Mac, here’s how to do that:

  • Open the Safari app if you have not done so already
  • Look for the dropdown selection menu next to ‘When visiting other websites:’ and choose “Allow” to allow all pop-up windows in Safari from all websites

How to enable all pop-ups in Safari for Mac

Enabling all pop-ups for all websites is generally not recommended since inevitably you will encounter some website that is going to misuse the feature (which is why they are disabled by default in many modern web browsers in the first place). But if you require this setting, it is available.

Note that sometimes sites will launch pop-ups as opening new windows but Safari opens them as new tabs instead of pop-ups or new windows, depending on how they are initiated from the site itself, and how Safari is configured.

Whichever approach you use to allow pop-up windows in Safari, you can always adjust the settings again later if needed.

Obviously we’re focusing on Safari for Mac here, but you can also enable or disable pop-up windows in Safari for iPhone and iPad too , so if you find yourself needing to use pop-ups in iOS Safari that’s just a matter of tweaking some settings as well.

Excellent, Thanks

I do not have the website icon at the top of the preferences page. In fact the name at the top is Notifications. I do not know what to do? I need to correct the pop ups??Can some one suggest a method? Thank you to any one who can. George.

Perfect! Your pictures made it so easy to follow your instructions. Thank you !!!

Perfect! Thanks!

Simpler solution, use Firefox which will prompt the user with pop ups blocked when its a popup for something legit. Furthermore Firefox is a far better, way less bloated browser that syncs across idevices easily

Thanks for the tip!

How to block Safari pop-ups on Mac

Though sometimes helpful, pop-ups don’t have a great reputation. They can interrupt your work, slow page-load times, or even conceal malicious software. Thankfully, blocking pop-ups in Safari is easy, because the browser features a built-in pop-up blocker to help you manage them.

On Mac devices, Safari’s pop-up blocker lets you block or allow pop-ups for specific websites . This is an important feature in a blocker, because not all pop-ups are spam messages and some help you navigate and use sites more easily.

You can also choose to block or allow pop-ups on specific sites with AVG Secure Browser , a free browser that puts security and privacy at the forefront. You can surf the web anonymously and fully customize your ad blocker to allow only essential pop-ups. Plus, you’ll enjoy a host of additional privacy features.

How to block all pop-ups on Mac

Here’s how to stop all pop-ups on Mac using the Safari pop-up blocker:

Open the Safari browser and click Preferences under the Safari drop-down menu.

You’re done — Safari pop-ups blocker is now active for all websites.

How to disable pop-ups for specific sites on Mac

If Safari is blocking pop-ups that you want or need to see, you can customize your pop-up settings and block pop-ups for certain sites.

Here’s how to turn off pop-ups on specific sites on Mac:

Open Safari and click Preferences under the Safari drop-down menu.

Pop-ups will now be blocked for the website you’ve chosen, and you can repeat the process for other sites you want to block. If you’re looking for more ways to curate a more minimalist browsing experience, you can also try setting the about:blank page as your browser homepage.

How to block pop-ups for an active website

You can set Mac’s pop-up blocker to disable pop-ups only for the website you’re currently using.

Here’s how to block pop-ups on Mac on the website you’re actively using:

Right click on the address bar of the current website and click Settings for this website .

Accessing Settings for this website by right clicking on the address bar.

Here’s how to block pop-ups on iPhones and iPads:

Go to Settings and tap the Safari app.

Just as computers can slow down over time , iPhones can get weighed down with more than just pop-ups. Take additional steps to clean and speed up your iPhone to keep it running at its best.

If you also use other browsers, you can manage pop-ups in Chrome , prevent pop-ups in Firefox , or get rid of them in Edge or IE . Using a browser cleaner tool will also help to speed up your device .

How to disable the pop-up blocker on Mac

Some pop-up messages are helpful, because they’re designed to improve your user experience by conveying helpful notifications or maintaining site functionality. So if you disable a pop-up blocker on Safari — meaning you allow pop-ups — you might improve your web browsing experience.

Here’s how to enable pop-ups on Mac:

Click the Safari drop-down menu and select Preferences .

Click the Websites tab at the top and select Pop-up windows from the left menu. If there are any individual site settings displayed in the “Configured Websites” box, delete them using the Remove button.

Set the “When visiting other websites” button to Allow .

And there you have it — all pop-ups are now allowed on Safari.

How to allow pop-ups for specific sites on Mac

If you want to unblock pop-ups only for sites you trust, you can customize your Safari preferences on Mac to allow pop-ups on certain sites, while leaving the pop-up blocker active for others.

Here’s how to enable pop-ups on Mac for specific sites:

A Safari drop-down menu with preferences highlighted

Select the Websites tab and click Pop-up windows . The website you’re on will be listed in the Currently Open Websites area. Click the drop down menu and choose Allow .

How to allow pop-ups for an active website

Here’s how to disable the pop-up blocker on Mac for the website you’re actively using:

Right click the address bar of the website you’re actively using and select Settings for This Website .

The Safari pop-up blocker will now allow pop-ups from the site you’re currently on — and any other websites that you’ve also unblocked. But Safari’s pop-up blocker will continue to eliminate pop-ups from all other sites.

How to disable the pop-up blocker on iPhone and iPad

On iOS, it’s not possible to make an exception to enable pop-ups from specific sites. If you want any pop-ups at all, you have to completely turn off the pop-up blocker on your iPhone or iPad.

Here’s how to allow pop-ups on iPhone and how to disable the pop-up blocker on iPad:

Go to Settings and choose the Safari app.

Are pop-ups in Safari dangerous?

Most Safari pop-ups aren’t dangerous and actually help you interact with the websites you visit more easily. Pop-ups can help you interact with a site, let you select preferences, display marketing messages, or show cookie consent forms. If you allow a site to display pop-ups in your browser, you can always clear your cache and disable cookies later to get rid of them.

But there are more dubious and even dangerous pop-ups that can contain false close buttons that actually run unexpected actions rather than close the window. A hover ad or an in-page pop-up appears as a layer in front of a browser screen, falsely presenting itself as the webpage. If pop-ups cause you to inadvertently install unwanted software, you can use a bloatware removal tool to get rid of any unnecessary apps .

The most dangerous pop-ups can harm your system and bombard your browser with an adware attack . Other suspicious pop-ups can function as malvertising ploys , riddling your system with all kinds of malware . Staying informed about Mac cybersecurity threats is essential to keep you and your system safe. If you think you may have already downloaded malware onto your system through a pop-up, remove the malware from your Mac immediately.

Pop-ups are one of the main reasons to get an ad blocker . But there are downsides to a blocker snuffing out pop-up windows completely. Some pop-ups are necessary to the proper functioning of a website. Other pop-ups contain important information or let you access deeper features of a website — for example, an installer for an application.

Another reason to be careful when using ad blockers is that they can sometimes block ads for products and services that are genuinely useful, like newsletter signup forms. With an ad blocker, you might also miss out on pop-up discounts or limited-time offers, so it may be better to selectively stop pop-ups in Safari.

How do I know which pop-ups to block?

Since some pop-ups are irritating and others are useful — there’s no comprehensive solution to the issue of how to remove pop-up ads on Mac. Consider allowing pop-ups on websites you know and trust, and blocking pop-ups if you’re unsure of a site’s safety . Always practice safe browsing habits and definitely block sites with suspicious pop-ups.

Stop pop-ups and browse safely with AVG Secure Browser

Pop-ups are a mixed-bag — some are annoying or even dangerous, but others are helpful and necessary. You can manage pop-ups easily and block the risky ones by using AVG Secure Browser, one of the best browsers for security and privacy .

Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups

I have a Mac air. I am not a big Google user (or Google fan for that matter). However, I do have a Google account that I have accessed via my Safari browser. However, just about every other website is now causing a pop-up that asks me to "sign in with google" as many of these sites have a SSO with Google. I have removed all of my Google sign-in's from Safari, removed cookies, removed history but these annoying "sign in with Google" prompts still exist. I have removed this "opt in" check-box on my Google account as well without any success. How do I stop the annoying pop-ups from Google asking me to sign in?

  • How do I turn off Google Sign-In Prompts When Using Safari? I get this this "Sign in with Google" pop-up on my laptop, desktop, iPad, and iPhone when I land on sites on the web. Not every site, but enough to be very annoying. (I've attached screen shot.) One friend suggested emailing the webmaster of any site where Google popped up, which I tried with a few but did not get any responses. I solution was proposed in the Community here in a post from 3-21-23: "To turn off sign in prompts in your Google account, go to your Google Account security page and sign in to your account. Once you're signed in, on the Security page under the "Signing in to Other Sites" section turn off the "Google Account sign-in prompts" option." My Google account does not have the section on the Security page "Signing in to Other Sites". I searched with phrase and found nothing. I also did not see anything that led to "Google Account sign-in prompts". Did Google rename them, move them somewhere else or delete them altogether? I have done what I can on Safari to block pop ups, but the Google pop ups pop up anyway. Note: I added gmail to my Mac mail account years ago. These pop-ups seemed to start in the last 12 months?

I am on a MacBook Air and have dealt with this problem for months. Can't promise this will work for everyone but here is what resolved the issue for me.

I went into Safari - Preferences - Search -

My search engine is on DuckDuckGo -

I unclicked "Include Search Engine Suggestions" -

Below the Search Engine, look at "Search Field"

Where it says Enable Quick Website Search there is a box "Manage Websites"

Click on Manage Websites and see if Google is in there

If it is, remove Google

Hope this helps someone, it worked for me

It's not Google who's asking you to sign in. The individual websites have bought a service from Google that allows them to offload the sign up/sign in process.

And in the process allow google to track all of the sites you visit.

Apple needs to make a way to turn off Google pop-ups asking us to sign in on websites!!!

Apr 19, 2024 8:17 AM in response to John Galt

Sign in with Apple doesn't obnoxiously pop up a window in a world with already 500 popup windows, some created by regulations which are supposed to somehow... help us?

I would say take the GDPR back and give me back websites without stupid popups about "we use cookies! we use cookies!" ...

It seems like the more time goes by the more we have to deal with on the web that is "for our own good" but really is annoying.

I don't think your question is rhetorical for most. People claim to care about privacy and be all "I am in the know and I know how to stop people from spying on me" and then they have a Google Android phone. The answer is Google is evil, Apple is not. And in this case I won't go deep .. it's just as simple as Google seems to be obsessed with stealing as much data from people as they possibly can, and stalking them worst than the most notorious stalker.

Whilst Apple .. well nothing they do is annoying. It's just the things they DON'T do that are sometimes annoying ;)

As noted in my original post, I did follow the Google recommendations to stop this pop-up on Safari with no success. It just does not go way. I went even further and remove any Google log-in accounts, removed all Google passwords and cookies and thing will not go way.

Respectfully, has the responder read the thread in full, or tried the instructions posted? I mention because even people with NO google account are graced with Google login panel. Fresh new device that never had a sign in to Google service will hit in the face with the same panel.

It is a very frustrating and annoying situation. I did, however, find the solution - an app called Banish - available from the Apple App Store. Been using it for several weeks and, so far, it works flawlessly at blocking these Google pop-ups.

I forgot to mention the other change I made was going into the Safari-Websites-Downloads

"allow downloads on websites with setting below"

Click DENY on the Google tab

As I scrolled down, I found Google was in this list more than once, so I had to switch the tab from ASK to DENY on more than one Google tab.

Make sure you find them all!

Aug 7, 2023 1:33 PM in response to VivaMerida

unfortunately, this explains how to stop using the sign in. This doesn’t explain how to stop the pop-up. it appears that the answer is, you can’t.

I'm using Firefox and autodelete all cookies - except a few whitelisted - after closing its tab or the browser. The default solution to disable Google Account sign-in prompts in the Google Account settings doesn't work as I'm no longer logged into Google when I close its tab or my browser.

The solution I found for Firefox is using the following string as as custom rule to your adblocker:

||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select$subdocument

This should also work for Safari except that the only adblocker I could find that allows custom rules is AdGuard for Safari. After installing AdGuard for Safari I opened the settings, clicked on Filters tab, enabled User rules and clicked on User rules. This enabled me to paste the custom rule and click on Save to enable it.

I tested it by going to Reddit and the "Sign in with Google" pop-up no longer appears. After disabling all AdGuard for Safari extension and reloading Reddit the pop-up came back. After enabling extension in Safari I discovered you only need to enable AdGuard Custom to enable this User rule.

Tested some further and closed AdGuard for Safari (not keeping it active in menu bar) and disabled launch at login and it still works.

Safari (and other browsers) offer options to block popups - same principle.

The requests to sign in using Google on other websites are not coming from Google. They are coming from the website you're visiting (one example is redfin.com). Those websites have chosen to use Google's sign on services. It's how they want you to log into their website. Apple can't make them not do that. If you don't like it, don't visit sites that use that service.

How to Close All Safari, Chrome and Google Tabs on Your iPhone

If you've racked up too many tabs to close individually, these quick steps will help.

Sometimes, you've just got too many open tabs to close them individually. 

Perhaps you're handing your phone over to someone and want to keep some confidential information, well... confidential. It could be a search for birthday or holiday gifts for your kids that you don't want them to accidentally see or more sensitive or personal information displayed in a browser.

Sure, you could individually close each tab in Safari, Chrome or Google search on your iPhone, but why do that when you can easily nix them all in one fell swoop? 

Closing all tabs is a simple enough method that nevertheless isn't always intuitive, so let's walk through how to do it for each platform. 

Close all tabs in Safari

Safari perhaps wins the award for least intuitive steps to close all tabs. To do so, you'll want to have a tab open, then hold down the tab icon in the lower right corner (it looks like two overlapping squares). Then, you'll see an option to Close All Tabs . Tap that, confirm you want to close them all, and then they should disappear. 

Close all tabs in Chrome

Chrome makes it a little easier than Safari to close all tabs. If you've got a browser open, tap the Switch tabs button on the bottom (a square with the number of tabs inside). Then tap Edit on the lower left side of the screen and hit Close All Tabs .

Close all tabs on Chrome browser

A couple taps will allow you to quickly close all tabs in Chrome.

Close all tabs in Google search app

It's easy to rack up open tabs in the Google search app, since a new one appears each time you pursue a search result. To close all tabs, click on the square in the lower right corner, which should show the number of how many tabs you have open. Then click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Close all open tabs . When the popup window appears, select Close all .

Close all tabs on Google app

The Google search app has slightly different steps for closing tabs than Chrome.

Now you can hand over your phone with the security of knowing your web activity won't become a topic of conversation.

Popular Round Top Dinner Pop-Up Opens a Temporary Downtown Austin Restaurant

A meat taco on a plate.

A very popular Round Top pop-up is opening a new temporary restaurant in Austin this summer. Y Comida is expanding with the aptly named Y Comida at Ellis at downtown food hall Fareground at 111 Congress Avenue starting on Friday, August 23.

Under Y Comida owner and head chef Nick Middleton, the street-level counter-service restaurant will serve South Texas dishes with New American approaches, pulling from his culinary upbringing. The team will use the “South Texas flavors and bounty I grew up eating as part-Mexican, part-Cajun, and fully Texan border kid,” Middleton tells Eater. He grew up in Port Isabel, Texas.

Y Comida’s Ellis menu will include quail tamarind lollipops; rib-eye cap steaks with mesquite smoked butter; redfish with Texas sweet corn beurre blanc; sumac-dusted blue crab claws; brisket confit tacos with avocado and salsa macha; and mezcal affogatos with canela ice cream, coffee, and spices.

The Fareground/Ellis staff will still oversee the drinks menu; they’ll be expanding with more agave spirits to complement Y Comida’s food, such as mezcals, sotols, raicillas, and tequilas; plus adding more Central Texas wines and new cocktails. The latter includes the La Playa Blanca, a frozen tequila drink with coconut and lime orgeat; the Pasado de Moda with mezcal, piloncillo, and mole bitters; and the watermelon-y Sandia Tajin.

Before Y Comida, Middleton had started his culinary journey by selling gumbo — made using a family recipe — and hosted crawfish boils out of his East Austin garage in 2016 under the name Le Bouchon. Then he had pop-ups in New Orleans and Austin in 2017 and 2018, mostly as Grita Tacos. And then, back in Austin, he also worked on the opening team of Asian smokehouse restaurant Loro in 2018. He also developed ice cream flavors for the Austin location of Zeds in june 2021

Middleton started Y Comida in 2019, which became this massive biannual month-long restaurant out in Round Top timed to the very huge antiques show. It’s where he and his team cook up coursed tasting menu meals at the Bader Ranch in March and October.

“Ellis seems like a perfect place to take our mantra and use this small space to make interesting food that is accessible to everyone in the heart of downtown, “Middleton says. He had met with an Ellis stakeholder during a pop-up event and they got along.

The rest of the Y Comida at Ellis team includes sous chef Barto McCarty, who has been on-staff for the past five years; Sakif Khan, currently behind Bangladeshi food pop-up Good Jinn and the former chef de cuisine of Peached Tortilla; and Derek Dunn, formerly of Uchiko and Olamaie.

Y Comida’s Round Top pop-ups will still happen in fall. This Ellis location is positioned as a seasonal operation — it’s supposed to end on New Year’s Eve on Tuesday, December 31. Middleton’s idea is that they’ll find a next-location in Austin, whether it’s somewhere new or continuing on at Ellis. The press release notes that there is “the possibility of becoming a longer-term partner.”

The hours for Y Comida at Ellis will be from 3 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The bar’s hours will be from 3 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 3 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Overall, the Fareground and Ellis are under ownership company Cousins Properties and a dining partnership with Colorado-based group Richard Sandoval Hospitality . Since the food hall opened in 2018 (under a different culinary operation company ), there have been many restaurant switcheroos through the years.

Paige lorenze opens dairy boy country mart pop-up in new york city.

Paige Lorenze at the Dairy Boy Country Mart pop-up in New York City

Last year, Paige Lorenze —a lifestyle brand founder and It Girl known for her showstopping tennis WAG looks at Wimbledon —made waves with her first fashion pop up in New York City.

With lineups around the block, it proved that her lifestyle brand, Dairy Boy , which she founded in 2021, can thrive on e-commerce sales through social media.

While the pop up sold out the jeans and retro tennis-themed swag at the first pop-up (keep in mind, she’s the partner of tennis player Tommy Paul), she returns to New York with more products that bring a slice of country charm to the city.

Now, two of Lorenze’s brands, Dairy Boy and American Charm , are featured at the Dairy Boy Country Mart pop-up in New York City starting tomorrow, August 23, through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. located at 25 Howard Street in Soho, featuring all of the brand’s products and accessories, plus new exclusive drops.

Dairy Boy, by Paige Lorenze, is releasing new jerseys in navy blue and pink. Jeans are also by Dairy ... [+] Boy.

Russian Troops Captured One Of Ukraine’s Dutch Armored Vehicles, Rode It Back Into Battle—And Promptly Got Killed

Apple iphone 16 pro: new design echoed in latest leak, the sound of failure at sonos.

Lorenze, who studied skiing in Vermont, is bringing her own version of a Vermont Country Store to the city. “They’re this sort of this really homey, eclectic store that has flannels, cutting boards, artisan ceramic plates, and candy,” she said. “It’s kind of this all-encompassing, fun, homey store. And that was sort of the inspiration behind this, to bring a rural thing into the city, something that feels homey and nostalgic.”

The Dairy Boy new products include new Homecoming Jersey Shirts with the “DB” logo embroidered on the front, as well as the new Barn Jacket, which comes in two shades (brown and pink) and new tennis shirts, hats and sweaters. The pop-up launches during the US Open, naturally. The new American Charm products include floral patterned bedding, among other home items.

Lorenze first founded Dairy Boy in 2021 as a creative outlet. “I think it's just so important to me to showcase my lifestyle that I want to promote the life that I do live,” she said. “And this general store-style country mart reflects that.”

In a way, Lorenze is the next Martha Stewart — one that speaks to Generation Z. She’s only 26 and is a multi-hyphenate with brands and creative content that resonates with young women. “To me, it's about romanticizing your home life,” said Lorenze.

“It's home making, curating, and hosting. I have this special opportunity to encourage young people to romanticize their day-to-day life, even if it’s their apartment in the city. Just because you don't live in the country, doesn’t mean that you can’t invest in your space and make it feel a sanctuary, whether it's florals or cute bedding.”

As an influencer with roughly 700,000 followers on Instagram, Lorenze appreciates the shift from promoting other people’s products to her own. “Speaking from personal experience, we’re not pushed as females to start a business; we're pushed to sell products for other brands,” she said.

“But it’s so much more rewarding if you sell your own products. We each have our own niche. It’s something I want to do, to encourage more young female entrepreneurs to step up. We all have a certain amount of engagement where we can reach and sell products.”

Her advice to young creators? Start your own brand. “All it really takes is taking your own curiosities, staying determined and finding ways to do the research and find people or partners that can help you reach your goals,” she said. “It's actually not as hard as a lot of people think it is.”

Next up, she is doing more drops with Urban Outfitters and is part of Target’s Future Collective . She has also received interest from Nordstrom and Macy’s.

“We all have nothing to lose, really,” said Lorenze. “If you're in a position where you're passionate about something or you want to sell, I think you're doing yourself a disservice to not go after that in this market that we live in—it’s a consumer market. People want to buy products from people. I think that’s a proven fact now.”

A woman in theatrical makeup and a vaguely gothic outfit.

Do you like being scared? And a little bit drunk? Well have we got the pop-up for you! House of Spirits: A Haunted Cocktail Soirée an “immersive adult experience” is coming back to Seattle for the 2024 Halloween season.

House of Spirits is basically a haunted house for adults that is being hosted in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Seattle this year — guests drink mini craft cocktails while roaming around a venue that has live music, tarot readings, burlesque acts, and “mystical encounters,” according to the press release announcing the event.

The Seattle version is at the Daughters of the American Revolution Rainier Chapter House on Capitol, a mansion that is being turned into the fictitious Vaughan Mansion for the occasion, which the press release says is “inspired by Ireland’s infamous Loftus Hall” and will merge “Irish folklore with bizarre legends.” There will be lots of costumed performers, naturally, and guests are encouraged to dress up in cocktail attire, Halloween costumes, or period garb.

Tickets can be purchased here and start at $76, which includes tickets for four mini cocktails.

Now for more news of the week:

Fogo de Chao set to open downtown

The popular Brazilian steakhouse chain is opening its third location in Washington State on September 2, according to a press release. Fogo de Chao has restaurants in Bellevue and Lynnwood; this newest one will be on the corner of Fourth Avenue and University Street in downtown Seattle. (File this away as a data point on the never-ending “is downtown back yet?” conversation.) Guests will have a view of the grill where chefs butcher, carve, and cook steaks and other protein. A portion of the first week’s sales will be donated to regional food bank Food Lifeline .

Seattle chef headed back to the Food Network

Jhonny Reyes, chef and owner at hip Belltown Nuyorican restaurant Lenox , is already a Chopped Champion thanks to a 2022 appearance on the Food Network. Now he’s going back for seconds: He’ll be on an episode of Alex Vs. America , a competition show hosted by Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli, on September 8 at 9 p.m. PST. Check it out — it’s not like you’ll be watching baseball.

Seattle Times crowns pizza winner

For the past little while, the Seattle Times has been running a bracket-style reader poll to crown the city’s best pizza — or actually, the metro area ’s best pizza, since the winner is Burien’s Stevie’s Famous , an incredible New York–style pizzeria that has a residency in Beacon Hill’s Clock-Out Lounge. Stevie’s Famous (from the same owners as Lupo) earns top marks from the paper’s food writers too, and also from everyone who’s had it. It’s great pizza!

The U.S. Open has returned to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The 2024 festivities kicked off Monday with Fan Week, free and open to the public, before the main tournament ramps up Aug. 26. Here’s a look at what’s happening at and around the stadium in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park this year.

Also During Fan Week…

DJ D-Nice will headline the inaugural U.S. Open Block Party on Friday. The evening, to be held at the center’s Fountain Plaza, kicks off at 8 p.m. with a set by DJ Millie.

Art Partnerships

An unexpected pairing: Marvel superheroes and tennis superstars. Marvel has collaborated with the U.S. Open on a comic book, which will be given away for free during Fan Week to U.S. Open Fan Pass holders starting Monday. Naomi Osaka and Carlos Alcaraz are among the players depicted in illustrated form. This year’s official art for the U.S. Open, a celebration of “The Power of Tennis,” was designed by St. Louis native Chelsey Farris , who is the first American woman to be tapped for the gig in 15 years. Her design is available on posters and other merch available for purchase.

Hotels Offering U.S. Open Experiences for Guests

Ultra-luxury hotel Aman is offering a U.S. Open Tennis Experience package. Guests will get a two-night stay, two courtside seats for the men’s final, and full-day car service, among other perks — including transportation to and from the tournament on a 48-foot Daychaser yacht. The view en route is sure to be interesting.

Crowne Plaza HY36 , an official U.S. Open partner, is also offering a U.S. Open Package available to loyalty members. The package includes a welcome kit with game day essentials like sunscreen, snacks, a portable fan (aka the accessory of the summer), and portable charger. The hotel is hosting several players, upping the experiential factor. Located near Hudson Yards and a quick walk from Penn Station, the hotel is well-positioned to catch either the subway or Long Island Railroad for quick transportation out to the stadium.

Still in Queens?

Maxthon | Privacy Private Browser

Most Accessible Browsers

by chung chinyi | Aug 24, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Learning is now a regular part of our lives, and each web browser has distinct features and p erformance characteristics. When searching for the ideal browser for studying, it’s essential to consider specific criteria such as ad blocker support, dark mode, fast results, and reader mode. Several choices are available for students seeking the best browser to aid their studies.

The internet offers many browsers, but only a few benefit academic pursuits. Below, we have compiled a list of browsers that can assist students in expanding their knowledge and accessing valuable information. The following browsers are particularly well-suited for studying:  

Maxthon is a browser known for its study-focused features, making it an excellent choice for students and researchers. It provides various tools and functions to enhance productivity during online research and study sessions. With its split-screen mode, users can seamlessly work on multiple tasks or view multiple resources simultaneously. Maxthon also offers a b uilt-in note-taking feature, allowing users to jot down important points or save helpful information without leaving the browser.  

Furthermore, the browser’s resource-sniffing tool automatically detects media content on webpages, helping users quickly locate and access relevant materials such as images, videos, or documents. Its seamless integration with cloud storage services simplifies saving and accessing study materials across different devices. In addition, Maxthon’s ad-blocker feature minimises distractions while browsing, creating a more focused and conducive environment for studying.

Overall, Maxthon is designed to cater to the specific needs of students and researchers by p roviding them with an efficient and distraction-free online environment for their academic p ursuits.  

Google Chrome, a widely utilised open-source browser, is the default web browser on all Android mobile devices. It is compatible with most operating systems and includes a built-in translator for language conversion. Additionally, Google Chrome offers numerous add-ons to facilitate access to various Google services such as Meet, Classroom, Gmail, Drive, and Sheets. Furthermore, it provides many extensions to enhance productivity and personalise the b rowsing experience according to individual preferences.

Last year, 362 million users downloaded Firefox, making it one of the top web browsers. Its user-friendly interface is highly regarded and compatible with most operating systems. Firefox offers a built-in password manager that allows users to save passwords for easy website access. Additionally, learners and individuals favour Firefox for its default translator, which can translate over 100 languages. The browser also features a dark mode to reduce b lue light emission and protect users’ eyes while reading online content. Furthermore, Firefox allows users to block unwanted websites.

Safari, an Apple-owned web browser, is renowned for its high level of security and is the default option for Apple devices. It is designed to work seamlessly with products like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Users can activate reader mode in Safari, allowing for uninterrupted article reading.

The Big Picture

  • Season 2 of Dark Matter will have to address the "Multiple Jasons" issue, creating new threats and challenges.
  • Ryan and Amanda will have intertwined storylines in the upcoming season, potentially leading to conflict.
  • The final sequence of Season 1 leaves open possibilities for the return and development of other co-stars in Season 2.

This piece will examine how Blake Crouch has set up a second season of the mindbending, time-space-defying sci-fi hit drama Dark Matter . To best understand all the breadcrumbs and hints, we will definitely want to look closely at everything that happened in the finale of Season 1 (specifically in the final 10 minutes), which is currently available to stream on Apple TV+ in the U.S. The critically lauded genre mash-up that details the bizarre events in the life of David Dessen ( Joel Edgerton ), his wife Daniela Dessen ( Jennifer Connelly ), and his son Charlie ( Oakes Fegley ) takes an unexpected twist at the end that left audiences dying for a second season. Thankfully, we now know that it is happening. Several questions involve the solid supporting cast, including Alice Braga , Jimmie Simpson , and Dayo Okeniyi . Where do they sit heading into Season 2, and what do Crouch and his creative group of writers have in store for them heading into a second batch of episodes?

Dark Matter (2024)

A man is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could've lived, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from a most terrifying foe: himself.

In a Show With Infinite Possibilities, Setting Up Season 2 of 'Dark Matter' Wasn't Hard

Showrunner Blake Crouch and director Jakob Verbruggen use a terrific ending to the first season to set up some curious and compelling possibilities for Season 2 of Dark Matter. He plays it perfectly when the Dessen family returns to the warehouse with the time and space-bending black box in the final scene. There are dozens of alternate Jasons waiting for them as they try to escape the world that is overrun with Jasons, so there is a taut dramatic element at play. But when we learn they are there to see Jason, Daniela, and Charlie off, the tension slowly turns to the Dessens and where they will go.

After injecting themselves with the ampoules, Charlie is the first to set foot into a new universe unseen by the audience. As a beam of light illuminated them, they all make their way through the vault-like door. It sets up all kinds of scenarios moving forward, including what this new world will look like. Will it be a hospitable environment with inhabitants similar to the world they are leaving behind? The first several episodes will revolve around setting up a base world they will live in or move out of.

Season 2 of 'Dark Matter' Will Likely Address the "Multiple Jasons" Problem

It will be difficult not to address the world they have just left and the rampant Jason variation problem . The show started with a singular variation and slowly built to a population that threatened to cause complete chaos, endangering the original Jason's life as he fought off other-worldly versions of himself to protect Daniela and Charlie. By the time the show ended, the audience saw what appeared to be close to 100 Jasons begrudgingly allowing the family to leave.

So, it seems highly unlikely that the "Jason Variation" element of the show will just be wholly choked off just because they switched universes. Ideally, an iteration or two of creeper Jason will emerge in Season 2 and give way to a new threat that messing with quantum physics and the time-space continuum can create. This brings us to another very important piece set up in a quick scene between the show's two main supporting characters in the final sequence, Ryan (Simpson) and Jason's trusted friend and ally, Amanda (Braga).

Ryan Is Going to Share a Storyline With Amanda After Showing Up in Her Universe

The show's two strongest supporting players will certainly be involved in some way in Season 2 . After seeing Ryan experimenting with his serum, he suddenly appears in the world where Amanda has created a new life where she seems content. It remains to be seen if Crouch and his team of writers will reveal how Ryan could perfectly navigate a previously random and punishing box that could only be bested through a grueling process of trial and error immediately or let the viewers sit and stew while the brilliant scientist sits on his secret.

It would make for a compelling plot device if Ryan were to keep his new and improved ampoules all to himself, but it could also be the seed from which a unique and different evil emerges. Ryan has proven he is all about the work and protecting his intellectual property. He would likely justify his actions under the name of patents and scientific advancement. Seeing Jimmi Simpson take his character and enter dark, mad scientist mode would be a welcome addition . Initially, he has to deal with the resourceful and highly intelligent Amanda, OG Jason's ride-or-die buddy.

The Final Sequence of 'Dark Matter' Season 1 Opens Up Spots For the Other Co-Stars

There are a handful of characters that Crouch deftly left the door open to for a return in Season 2. Leighton Vance (Okeniyi), Blair Caplan ( Amanda Brugel ), and Dawn Lawrence ( Aina Brei'Yon ) rounded out a great ensemble, and their characters get a quick update as they are all alive and well (kind of). They have all been through the wringer, but could potentially come back in the next batch of episodes.

We see Leighton emerge from the box, and he has a knowing grin on his face . He is dazzled by the possibilities and has plenty of ampoules in his case to head back in for more . Which version of Leighton will show up, though? The immoral scientist trying to chase down Jason or the bored billionaire who is a friend? Steady ally Blair also appears ready to move past her endless time-space jumping PTSD and perhaps be a bigger player next season. And, of course, Dawn, it won't be hard to discern who the original Dawn is because she won't have any fingers. It is probably a device that Crouch was using to have her appear again at some point as well. The possibilities are literally infinite, and Crouchand Verbruggen masterfully set up the entire cast for a brand-new thrill ride as we patiently await the sophomore season of Dark Matter .

Dark Matter is currently available to stream on AppleTV+ in the U.S.

What about chrome apps.

You might find references to Chrome apps online, but they are no longer supported except for Google Enterprise and Education customers and partners. Google said Chrome app support has been extended for these users "until at least January 2025." For everyone else, they are no longer accessible in the Chrome Web Store, and existing Chrome apps won't execute.

Google Chrome apps require a compatible web browser because they are built with web-friendly languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These apps look similar to Windows and macOS apps and open in their own windows.

It was a great idea, and many Chrome apps were developed, but a new technology called progressive web apps (PWA) is a better option for web developers who want to create lightweight apps that run everywhere.

Open the Chrome Web Store from another browser

Several browsers are compatible with Chrome extensions and themes. For example, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave browsers support Chrome extensions.

Apple's Safari browser supports extensions but is not compatible with Chrome extensions. However, you can install the Chrome browser on a Mac if you need to access a Chrome extension. Many Chrome extensions work in Firefox, but there are some incompatibilities . Check if your browser is supported by opening the Chrome Web Store using this link .

Are Chrome extensions available for Android and iOS?

Chrome extensions are designed for computers, not smartphones. The default browser on most Android phones is Chrome, which doesn't support extensions. On an iPhone, the default Safari browser only supports Safari extensions.

Some third-party mobile browsers support Chrome extensions, but extensions aren't made for small screens and might not work correctly on your smartphone.

Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari

Find out how to block pop-up windows and handle persistent ads on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Pop-ups can be ads, notices, offers or alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window or in another tab. Some pop-ups are third-party ads that use phishing tactics, such as warnings or prizes, to trick you into believing they’re from Apple or another trusted company, so that you’ll share personal or financial information. Or they might claim to offer free downloads, software updates or plug-ins to try to trick you into installing unwanted software.

Use these tips to help manage pop-ups and other unwanted interruptions.

Avoid interacting with pop-ups

Unless you’re confident that they are a legitimate ad, avoid interacting with pop-ups or web pages that seem to take over your screen.

  • If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you can’t see the Search field on your iPhone or iPad, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.
  • Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble a close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you're not sure, avoid interacting with it and close the Safari window or tab.
  • On your Mac, you can quit Safari, then press and hold the Shift key while opening Safari. This prevents Safari from automatically reopening any windows or tabs that were open. 

Update your software

Always  install the latest software updates  for all of your Apple products. Many software releases have important security updates and may include improvements that help to control pop-ups.

The safest way to download apps for your Mac is from the App Store. If you need software that isn’t available from the App Store, get it directly from the developer or another reliable source, rather than through an ad or link.

Check Safari settings

On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari.

  • Turn on Block Pop-ups.
  • Turn on Fraudulent Website Warning.

On your Mac, open Safari and choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences) from the menu bar.

  • In the Websites tab , you can configure options to  allow or block some or all pop-ups .
  • In the Security tab , turn on the setting to warn when visiting a fraudulent website.

If adware or other unwanted software is installed on Mac

If you see pop-ups on your Mac that just won’t go away, you might have unintentionally downloaded and installed adware (advertising-supported software) or other unwanted software. Certain third-party download sites might include software that you don’t want along with the software that you do.

If you think that you might have malware or adware on your Mac:

  • Update to the latest version of macOS. If your Mac is already using the latest version, restart your Mac. macOS includes a built-in tool that removes known malware when restarting.
  • Check your Applications folder to see if you have any apps that you don't expect. You can  uninstall those apps .
  • Check the Extensions tab in Safari settings to see if you installed any unnecessary extensions. You can  turn extensions off .

If you continue to see advertising or other unwanted programs on your Mac, contact Apple.
