Modern web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Safari have a built-in pop-up blocker that eliminates pop-ups from your sites.
The web browser does so to provide you maximum security as you browse the web. However, the problem is that some sites may have a legitimate reason to open a pop-up to show you some content, but they fail to do so because of the browser’s built-in pop-up blocker.
If you have an iPhone and use the Safari web browser, the pop-up blocker is likely already enabled. Not only on Safari, but the feature is usually enabled on modern web browsers.
