How to detect if a browser is blocking a popup with JavaScript?
To detect if a browser is blocking a popup with JavaScript, we can check the popup window’s state.
For instance, we write
const newWin = window.open(url);
if (!newWin || newWin.closed || typeof newWin.closed == "undefined") {
//...
}
to call window.openn to open a popup window with the url.
Then we check for the closed property or whether newWin or newWin.closed is undefined to check if it’s been blocked.
