Xiaomi: Turn Off Pop-up Blocker in Mi Browser

Banner ads and other pop-up windows keep breaking the flow of pages loaded in Mi Browser on Xiaomi phones. Turning off the pop-up blocker sometimes helps when a site relies on a pop-up window to show a login form, a coupon code or a download link that otherwise never appears. Switching it back on afterward keeps the ad clutter away again.

Turn On or Off the Pop-up Blocker auf Xiaomi

Mi Browser on Xiaomi phones blocks pop-up windows by default. That setting stops most banner ads and unwanted overlay windows from opening while you browse, but it can also hide content that a site deliberately opens in a separate pop-up, such as a payment form, a login window or a file download link.

The toggle sits inside the browser's advanced settings, separate from the general Android permission system. Switching it off does not change any app-level permission and only affects pages loaded inside Mi Browser itself.

To change it, open Mi Browser and tap your profile icon. Go to Settings, then open Advanced. There you find the Block pop-ups switch, which you can turn on or off.

Turn it off only while you need a specific pop-up window from a trusted site. Leaving it off long-term brings back the same banner ads and redirect pop-ups the setting was built to stop. If a single site keeps misbehaving even with the blocker enabled, clearing that site's browsing data or checking for a browser update usually solves the problem faster than leaving pop-ups unblocked everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Some pages reload content from cache or use a script that fires before the browser applies the setting. Clear the browsing data for that site in Mi BrowserSettingsPrivacy and reload the page.
