I cannot receive a page from the copyright office because they say I have a popup blocker preventing it. How do I find it to turn it off. It is not in the system settings when searched. Help please.

I'm guessing you got this as a outdated response from a AI chatbot as it has not been Option/Preferences for a rather long time now as it is under Settings whether on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
