This guide teaches you how you can disable pop-up blockers while using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, are windows that appear automatically without your permission. Some websites, including some University of Nicosia sites, use pop-ups for important features. Blocking all pop-ups disables such features. To allow specific websites to use pop-ups, while still blocking all others, you can add those specific websites to the list of allowed sites.

Click the browser menu, located in the upper-right, then select “Settings”.

 Step 2

At the bottom of the page, click “Advanced”.

 Step 3

Under "Privacy and security," click “Content settings”.

Step 4

Afterwards, click “Popups”.

Step 5

Under Allow click Add. In the field provided type the following: [*.]unic.ac.cy

Click Add, this will allow all popups from University of Nicosia services to be allowed to display.
