stop pop-under ads on safari

I have 1Blocker installed, but pop-under ads are infuriating. How can we stop them?

Hello John Comeaux,


On macOS


  1. Open Safari
  2. Open Safari's Settings (Command + ,)
  3. Click Websites
  4. Scroll down and click on Pop-up Windows



You'll want to make sure When visiting other websites is set to Block or Block and Notify. In the list of websites above, these are allowed to bypass the default option set by When visiting other websites. Make sure you block or allow these as well. I personally recommend setting everything to Block and Notify.


I hope this helps!
