@davea14

Try: In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

- `brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com`

and scroll down the page, looking for `Pop-ups and redirects`

Exit / Quit Brave Browser. Pause. Start Brave Browser and test.

By the way, I never enable “Remember Me”, “Remember my decision” - in such pop-ups at websites. Because I use Private Windows, Private Browsing, those settings usually do not stick. Also, I do not enable `Forget me when I close this site` - because I do not need it:

Overall, because I focus on the prime directive: Privacy and Security - and that means, trying to not leave behind anything that is not secured.

The pop-up and redirects was already set at block. Any other thoughts on how to prevent the popup?

In the screenshot you shared, it shows a dropdown for `Remember my decision`. In the screenshot, you have it set to `Until I close this site` – meaning that once you close that tab, the next time you visit it you’ll be asked again.

Instead, change the permission to `Forever`:

Now it will not ask again unless you reset permissions for the site.
