The term "corner pops" regarding concrete foundation, is it anything to worry about?

How old is the slab?

Depends on size and depth. Got pics?

Is that the name of your concrete finisher?

A pretty common phenomenon stemming mostly from improper barrier installation behind the brick veneer at the brick shelf.
As other posters have stated it depends on the size of the condition as to whether or not it is a foundation issue.

It's right at the corner at 2 corners of the slab. It looks minor in that
The corner chunk of concrete is missing no more than 2-3 inches. It doesn't look like it supports anything and has been there a while
Slab is 20 years old at most

The biggest problem that this could cause is whether rebar is exposed. If the chunk exposes the rebar then you need to take care of it now because rust can chase the rabar and frick up your slab.

Rebar is always rusting because it is esposed to air and moisture
No matter wether a bridge or slab

Need to see a pic...
I am guessing the house has a brick veneer?

the crack on the slab.- at the corner (just under the brick) is usually caused from the brick expanding and pushing the corner out and ultimately cracking it /breaking off.
Brick is a veneer like siding and nothing structural.
I need to see it, but it's probably nothing but cosmetic.

Rebar should never be rusting if properly installed. Most engineers call out at least 2" clearance from all edges of concrete.

I wouldn't say "Never", it depends on the environmental conditions.
Bare rebar that is only 2" deep in concrete can most certainly corrode given the right exposure. Concrete is porous.
This is why epoxy coated rebar is specified in many applications.
