Pop-Up Blocker: A function or program that prevents pop-up windows from appearing on a website or application without user permission. Pop-up windows can be intrusive, distracting, and potentially harmful if they contain malicious content or lead to unsafe websites. By using a pop-up blocker, users can browse with less interruption, enhance their online experience, and potentially increase their protection against certain web-based threats.
