Allowing popups for web browsers

Most web browsers include a feature to block pop-up windows. While this may eliminate unwanted or bothersome pop-up windows, the feature sometimes can impede the functionality of legitimate or useful websites, Impos Connect requires pop-ups for the remote connection functionality

 Follow the instructions below to configure your web browser to allow pop-up windows for Impos Connect

  • Apple Safari (macOS)
  • Google Chrome (Windows/macOS)
  • Mozilla Firefox(Windows/macOS)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows)
  • Microsoft Edge (Windows 10 only)

Note: If you have installed third party applications to block pop-ups (examples include the Google, MSN, and Yahoo! toolbars), be sure to consult the vendor documentation to allow pop-up windows for desired websites.
