Your iPad has a convenient feature that improves the web browsing experience: It includes a pop-up blocker that prevents many kinds of pop-up windows from appearing over web pages in Safari.
The pop-up blocker is on by default, and most of the time, that's exactly how you should leave it. But there might be situations in which you want to allow pop-ups.
