html Popup Blocker Notification

In the above code, a function `checkPopupBlocker()` is created to check if a popup window can be opened. If the popup is blocked, a notification div element is dynamically created and appended to the body of the webpage, informing the user that a popup was blocked. Otherwise, the new popup window is immediately closed.

Please note that this code only notifies the user about a blocked popup; it does not actually prevent or block the popup itself.
