Browser Popups - Risks and Special Features

1. What is a pop-up security risk?
New browsers provide settings for blocking pop-ups (when blocked, a message is displayed to the user on sites with active pop-ups). What is a pop-up security risk? If the resolution of pop-ups can do something dangerous, then the main window can also. Is that not so. I think I don’t know about any special pop-up capabilities.

2. Any features of popups?
Take, for example, the Netbanking site of HDFC Bank . The entire netbanking session takes place in a popup window of a new window, and the user does not manually edit the URL or paste the URL into the main browser window. this does not work. Does this feature require a popup? Does security improve? (Ask, because everything that is on this site revolves around security - so they also had to do this for a reason). Why otherwise could they implement all netbanking in a popup?

3. Is it possible to override the settings for blocking browser pop-ups
Finally, the HDFC site successfully displays a pop-up window, even if pop-ups are blocked in the browser settings. So how do they do it? Is it a browser hack?
To see it -

  • go to http://hdfcbank.com/
  • In the "Login to Your Account" section, select "HDFC Bank NetBanking" and click the "Login" button.

You can check that even if the pop-ups are blocked / the pop-up blocker is enabled in the browser settings, this site can display pop-ups.

The answers to this question say that pop-ups are not displayed if they were blocked in the browser settings.


Pointy :

<a onclick="displayPopup();" href="#">
   Click here for a popup - this will appear even if popups are blocked in browser settings.
