Павел Сливенко That's because the current environment blocks the popup event. And so do most browsers. The browser/environment expects a real user-action for popup event but if it's triggered by some time later by setTimeout, it doesn't consider it to be a user action and blocks the popup. In browsers this type of code will not work after 2 may be 3 seconds I'm not sure.

I can make it less than 5 seconds. Otherwise code doesn't work. Try it yourself. Thanks for comment! https://code.sololearn.com/WfN0x9o5m536/?ref=app

So it is done internally and nothing you can do about it. At least I couldn't some time ago when I was trying to do same thing.

Excellent. May be other devices do not have that problem. Thank you for commenting.
