Setting the Blocking Level
You can choose one of three levels of blocking for Pop-Up Blocker software. These levels are:
- Low - Only block pop-ups from domains that you specify.
- Medium - Block pop-ups from domains that are different from that of the currently displayed page. This is the recommended level.
- High - Only allow pop-ups from domains that you specify.
Your currently selected blocking level appears next to the word On in the Pop-Up Blocker menu.
Note: If you don't see a blocking level on the Pop-Up Blocker menu, you have a newer version of the AT&T Yahoo! Browser. Click here to go to the tutorial for your browser.
Here's How
-
Open the Pop-Up Blocker Options window. (Remind me how.)
-
In the Pop-Up Blocker Options window, move the blocking level slider to the level that you want.
-
If you selected High or Low as the blocking level, click the Advanced button to edit the lists of blocked and allowed domains.
-
Click OK to save the blocking level setting.
What's Next
The High or Low blocking levels require that you list specific domains from which to allow or block pop-up windows. With the Medium blocking level, you can optionally define an allowed list and/or a blocked list to further customize how Pop-Up Blocker works for you.
Words to Know
- Allowed list: a user-defined list of sources or domains from which Pop-Up Blocker does not block pop-up windows.
- Blocked list: a user-defined list of sources or domains from which Pop-Up Blocker always blocks pop-up windows.
- Blocking level: a predefined setting determining what domains Pop-Up Blocker should block and allow.
- Domain: a set of Internet addresses, such as for a web site or email. On the Web, a domain is the part after "www." such as "my-domain.com".
