javascript
// Add an event listener to detect pop-up events
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function(event) {
// Display a custom message when a pop-up is blocked
event.returnValue = 'A pop-up was blocked by your browser.';
});


The above code listens for the `beforeunload` event, which is triggered when the user tries to leave a page, potentially indicating a pop-up is being blocked. However, please note that this code will only work when embedded within a web page and doesn’t override any browser’s built-in pop-up blocking functionality.

Remember to use code responsibly and in accordance with browser policies and user consent.

Understanding the Functionality of Pop-Up Blockers in Chrome

When using Chrome, the pop-up blocker functionality is an important feature to understand and utilize. Pop-up blockers help prevent unwanted pop-up ads from interrupting your browsing experience.

To access the pop-up blocker settings in Chrome, click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select “Settings.” From there, scroll down and click on “Advanced” at the bottom. Under the “Privacy and security” section, click on “Site settings” and then “Pop-ups and redirects.”

To disable the pop-up blocker for a specific website, click on the blocked pop-up icon in the address bar and select “Always allow pop-ups from this site.”

If you want to disable the pop-up blocker completely, go back to the “Pop-ups and redirects” settings and toggle the switch to off.

Remember, allowing pop-ups can potentially expose your device to spamming and malicious content, so it’s important to be cautious when adjusting these settings.
