# Blocking pop-up windows

Some webpages display pop-up windows. For example, a webpage might use a pop-up window to request your user name or to display ads. You can block these pop-up windows.

## To block pop-up windows:

Choose Safari > Block Pop-Up Windows so that a checkmark appears next to it.

Blocking pop-up windows stops the windows that appear when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link.

If you block pop-up windows, you might miss important information for a webpage.
