How To Allow Pop Ups In Chrome

FireFox allows you to do it, Internet Explorer allows you to do it, but guess what?  There is no function within Google Chrome to give permission to a website to automatically allow popups.  This means, that every time you try to open an external PDF, login screen, or game on some websites you are forced to click the allow button everytime.

This would seem like a no brainer to fix, almost immediately after launch.  But here we are, months after Chrome's initial release and there has yet to be a patch for this.  Furthermore, I'm still waiting on Chrom Add-Ons that helped drive FireFox's p0ularity.  Unfortunately the lack of addons and now the lack of ability to allow popups based on domain have sealed the deal for me.  It will be awhile before I start my Chrome browser up again anytime soon.

Also, if you feel like giving Google an ear full, drop a line over at their complaint department.  There are plenty of other people pissed off that there is no way to allow popups in Google Chrome.

Chrome gMail Errors
I'm guilty of giving the latest beta release of Google Chrome a go and I'm glad I did.  However, there is one glaring problem when using the Chrome browser with my daily needs, I get an error message when opening gMail.  Ok, maybe that's not the only problem, but one
Does Anyone Still Use Google Chrome?
Oddly enough I'm writing this post using Google Chrome, but only after I put on my french maid outfit and dusted that Chrome icon off. To be honest, since it doesn't offer any quality Add-Ons as of yet, it's fell by the wayside. I'm surprised that Google hasn't
Chrome Now Allows Pop Ups For Websites
One of my largest pet peeves with using Google Chrome in the work place was that there was not an option to allow popups from a webpage.  Each time there was a popup you would have to manually allow it, instead of setting a rule that allowed all popups from
Gmail Sticking On Load Screen In Chrome
Google Chrome has refused to open gMail for the past few weeks, however loading in basic html has solved the problem.  This is not my ideal fix and frankly frustrating since Chrome was built by the same folks over at Google who created gMail.  Why can't your products just work
Chrome Conspiracy Theory
Maybe it's the fact that AdBlock Plus has started cutting into my profits, maybe it's the fact that I'm starting to like Chrome and faith that it will reach it's full potential, or maybe it's because I watched a 90 movie on the JFK assassination last night.  Either way, I'm starting to
