How to Disable Your Browser’s Pop-up Blocker

The pop-up blocker in your browser keeps most sites from opening pop-up windows while you browse the Internet. However, some web applications, including eProtocol IACUC, eProtocol IBC, and eProtocol FID, require that your web browser is configured to allow pop-ups in order to function properly. Step-by-step instructions on how to change pop-up blocker settings for the most popular web browsers are provided below.

  1. In Chrome, click the More (3 dots) button near the upper right hand corner.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Under "Privacy and security", click Site settings.
  4. Click Pop-ups and redirects.
  5. At the top, turn the setting to Allowed.
  6. If you want to keep the blocker functionality but allow pop-ups on the eProtocol sites, turn the setting above to Blocked (recommended) instead then click the Add button for Allow. On the small window that appears, enter [*.]orsc.utexas.edu under Site. Click Add.
