Pop up blockers

I cannot get my new Mac to enable pop ups. I have looked under safari/preferences/security where the "enable/disable popups" should be, but it is not there. I cannot use my online banking if I cannot enable popups.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.4

No provision for pop up block in Safari 13 preferences Just updated my 2017 MacBook Pro (and Safari to 13.1) and see no provision whatsoever for pop up blocking in Safari preferences. Not a box/item to check in "security" and no pop up button choice in "websites". I am suffering from perpetual web page reloading/crashing on certain websites like eBay.

Safari popup blocker stopping legitimate websites Every time I log into my bank's website, I always have to fight with the popup blocker to get access to the page where I access the bill pay function (which opens in a popup window). I whitelisted both the main domain of the banking site itself and of the actual popup, but in the past, I had to lower the default setting for ALL sites to 'allow' to even get the popup to load. After updating to Catalina, Safari absolutely refuses to let me into the popup site or even acknowledge the popup site exists. Fortunately, I have an alternate browser installed, and was able to complete what I needed to (it did block the popup there, but it took just a few clicks to be allowed in). Am I just going to have to use the alternate browser from now on?
