How to Allow or Block Pop-Ups in Google Chrome

На открывшейся странице выберите слева «Поисковая система», а затем выберите поисковую систему которая будет использоваться по умолчанию.

Как изменить стартовую страницу chrome

Этим утром вы открыли Chrome и вместо обычной домашней страницы — той, которая содержит превью всех наиболее посещаемых сайтов — вы нашли неизвестный веб-сайт? Очевидно, вы установили на свой компьютер программу, предлагающую дополнительный рекламный контент.

В некоторых случаях программное обеспечение загружается из Интернета, если вы не обращаете внимания на параметры, проверенные во время их установки, загружайте дополнительные приложения на компьютер и изменяйте настройки по умолчанию для браузеров, домашней страницы и поисковой системы на всех. В любом случае знайте, что вам не о чем беспокоиться.

Если вы хотите узнать, как вернуть домашнюю страницу Google Chrome, все, что вам нужно сделать, это выделить две минуты свободного времени и следовать инструкциям, которые я собираюсь вам дать, уверяю вас, это очень просто.

Изменить стартовую страницу Chrome

Если вы хотите узнать, как вернуть домашнюю страницу Google Chrome в состояние по умолчанию, первый шаг, который вам нужно сделать, — это нажать кнопку (…), расположенную в правом верхнем углу, и выбрать пункт «Настройки» в появившемся меню.

На открывшейся странице слева выберите Запуск Chrome и затем выберите интересующий вас режим запуска например Новая вкладка, и перезапустите браузер. Если все прошло хорошо, Chrome снова должен показать свою домашнюю страницу по умолчанию.

Если вы хотите изменить домашнюю страницу Google Chrome, установив один или несколько Интернет-сайтов в качестве домашней страницы браузера вместо эскизов наиболее часто посещаемых сайтов, снова зайдите в настройки Chrome.

На этом этапе установите флажок рядом с элементом «Заданные страницы» и нажмите ссылку «Добавить страницу», чтобы ввести адреса одной или нескольких страниц, которые будут использоваться в качестве домашней страницы Chrome. Чтобы сохранить изменения, нажмите кнопку ОК.

Изменить поиск Chrome

Чтобы восстановить поисковую систему по умолчанию, с помощью которой Chrome производит поиск в интернете, введенные в адресной строке, нажмите кнопку (…), расположенную в правом верхнем углу, и выберите пункт «Настройки» в появившемся меню.

На открывшейся странице выберите слева «Поисковая система», а затем выберите поисковую систему которая будет использоваться по умолчанию.

Сбросить домашнюю страницу Google Chrome на смартфонах и планшетах

Извините, но на смартфонах и планшетах Chrome не позволяет вам установить домашнюю страницу, отличную от страницы по умолчанию (которая содержит список наиболее часто посещаемых), навигация автоматически возобновляется с последних открытых вкладок. Возможно в будущих версиях это появится.

pixinoo/Shutterstock.com Google Chrome does a great job at blocking pop-up windows out of the box, but sometimes it prevents them even if you’re expecting one from a trusted site. Here’s how you can take control and allow or block pop-ups in Chrome. By default, Google Chrome disables pop-ups automatically in the browser; something easily overlooked because that’s how the internet should be presented. Not all pop-up windows are malicious or invasive. Some websites use them for legitimate reasons.

How to Allow Pop-Ups From a Specific Site

When Chrome blocks a pop-up from a website, it displays an icon with a red X in the corner of the Omnibox. If you suspect this is an error and want to see pop-ups from this website, click on the icon to see site-specific options, select “Always Allow Pop-ups and Redirects” and then click “Done.”

After you click “Done,” refresh the page to save your choice and see any intended pop-ups on this website.

Alternatively, if you just want to see a pop-up one time, click the blue link in this window and you’ll be redirected to the pop-up that was initially blocked. RELATED: How to Make Chrome Stop Offering to Save Credit Card Data

How to Block Pop-ups from a Specific Site

Chrome does a great job at blocking a majority of pop-ups, but sometimes a pop-up squeaks through—or you accidentally click “Allow” instead of “Block”—and makes its way onto your screen. To explicitly block a website from showing pop-ups, you can add it to Chrome’s block list. Click the menu icon, and then click on “Settings.” Alternatively, you can type chrome://settings/ into the Omnibox to go directly there.

Next, select “Security and Privacy” from the sidebar. Locate the Security and Privacy section and choose the “Site Settings” option.

Scroll down in the list of settings and then click the “Pop-ups and Redirects” option.

For a website that you’ve accidentally added to the Allow list, you can promptly revoke its permissions to have Chrome start blocking its pop-ups again. Otherwise, you will have to add the problematic URL to the block list manually. We’ll take you through both cases below.

Under the Allow heading, find the problematic website, click More (three dots), then click “Block.”
This moves the URL from the Allow list to the Blocked list.

If the site isn’t listed under either heading, click the “Add” button to the right of the “Block” heading.

In the prompt that opens, type the URL of the website you want to block and then click “Add.”

Note: When providing the web address, if you want to block all pop-ups across the whole site, use the [*.] prefix to catch all subdomains from the website.

The web address and all of its subdomains are now under the “Block” list, and Chrome should handle any future pop-up requests from this site.

How to Allow All Pop-ups

Globally allowing pop-ups isn’t recommended, as they can be intrusive and annoying, but if for some reason you need to allow every site to display pop-ups, this is how you can bypass Chrome pop-up blocker. If you need to let a specific website to show them, you should add it to the “Allow” list mentioned in the method above first. Open Chrome and head back to Settings > Site Settings > Pop-ups and Redirects, or type chrome://settings/content/popups into the Omnibox and hit Enter.

At the top, select “Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects.”

Update Chrome Web Browser

This guide will step you through the process of updating your Google Chrome web browser.

Unless you have specifically disabled it Chrome will check for updates every couple of hours and automatically update itself, but here’s how to manually tell Chrome to update itself.

Click the “Customize and Control” button

Hover your mouse on the “Help” menu item

Click “About Google Chrome”

Chrome will automatically check for updates

If Chrome finds updates, click “Relaunch” to install them

When Chrome relaunches, you’ll have the latest version

Congratulations, you have now ensured that your copy of Chrome is up to date.

In normal circumstances, Chrome will keep itself up to date automatically – if for some reason Chrome didn’t update itself, please speak to your IT Support team for further help.

Chrome auto-updates itself

Google’s Chrome web browser was the first web browser to provide automatic updates. This was something of a revolution, because prior to this, it was the user’s responsibility to update their web browser. This usually meant that only the most vigilant and technically savvy users had up to date web browsers.

Having an up to date web browser is vital to having a safe and fully-featured web experience and Chrome’s auto-update feature facilitates this very easily.

What if Chrome is not already auto-updating?

If you are being told that Chrome is out of date (our homepage will tell you if your web browser up to date) then in most cases you just need to wait a few hours and Chrome will auto update itself.

If this doesn’t occur, it’s possible that:

• Your computer’s firewall is preventing Chrome from checking if there are updates
• Your employer has blocked Chrome from auto-updating
• You (or someone else) has configured your Chrome to not auto-update

Fixing these issues is beyond the scope of this article; these situations are typically very rare.

“I have the latest version of Chrome OS but you say my Chrome Browser is out of date!”

Even though you have the latest version of Chrome OS, occasionally the version of Chrome Browser you are running might considered out of date. This is because there is sometimes a short time-lag between the latest version of Chrome Browser being released and the latest version of Chrome OS being released as well. We’ve got a page with more details about ChromeBrowser and Chrome OS versions if you’re curious.
