    Mar 26, 2022



    Google Chrome

    When you select a link that requires a pop-up and they are currently blocked, you are provided the message " Pop-up blocked" which appears on the address bar. This indicates that the pop-up was initiated by the webpage and Chrome's pop-up block feature prevented it from opening.

    For immediate relief, you must click on the message to enable pop-ups. Pop-ups can be permanently enabled by clicking on the message on from the drop down menu selecting "Always allow pop-ups from" ... or "myslice.syr.edu" specifically in the case below.
