Hmm, I think you are mistaken here. Popper was as much a philosopher of science as anyone. Here's the intro to his Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popper):
He is generally regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers of science.[11][12][13]
Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method, in favour of empirical falsification: A theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and should be scrutinized by decisive experiments.
