How to Disable the Pop Up Blocker in the Microsoft Edge iPhone App
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus in iOS 11.3. The version of Edge being used was the most current one available when this article was written. Once you complete these steps you will have turned off the feature in the browser that blocks all pop-ups that are created by a website. This behavior will remain until you go back to the menu and turn the pop-up blocker back on. Many people that disable the pop-up blocker are only doing so temporarily for one site, so it’s a good idea to do it immediately after visiting that site so that you don’t forget and wind up getting a bunch of unwanted pop-ups from random websites you visit.

Step 2: Touch the three dots icon at the bottom-right of the screen.
Step 3: Choose the Settings option.
Step 4: Select the Privacy option at the top of the screen.
Step 5: Tap the button to the right of Block pop-ups to turn off Edge’s pop up blocker. I am allowing pop ups in the picture below.
