Using the AT&T Yahoo! Browser Pop-Up Blocker (older version)
Allowing and Blocking Specific
Domains
Depending on the blocking level you
choose, you may need to create lists of allowed and blocked domains for
Pop-Up Blocker.
- The High blocking level relies
on an allowed list, which is a list of
specific domains from which to allow pop-up windows. Pop-ups
from all other domains are blocked.
- The Low blocking level relies
on a blocked list, which is a list of
specific domains from which to block pop-up windows. Pop-ups
from all other domains are allowed.
- The Medium blocking level
lets you optionally define both an allowed list and a blocked
list to further customize how Pop-Up Blocker works for you.
Here's How
-
Open the Pop-Up Blocker Options window. (Remind
me how.)
-
Click the Advanced button to open the
Pop-Up Blocker Domains window.

-
Click the Add button next to the Allow
pop-ups list to add a domain to allow or next
to Block pop-ups list to add a domain
to block.

-
Enter the domain to allow or block,
then click OK.

The domain that you added now appears in the allowed or
blocked list.

-
Add as many more domains to either list as you want.
-
When you finish, click Close to close the
Pop-Up Domains window and OK to close the
Pop-Up Blocker Options window.
What's Next
In addition to adding domains that you already know
you want to allow or block, you can also add domains based on the Pop-Up
Blocker's history.
