pop-up blocker
Intrusion prevention software
A pop-up blocker is software or a browser feature that prevents websites from opening new windows automatically.
Pop-ups were once ubiquitous for advertising, prompting browsers to build in blocking by default.
I had to disable my pop-up blocker to complete the payment.
Some sites require allowing pop-ups for legitimate functions like login windows.
