Background information

What is a Pop-Up Blocker?

Pop-ups are windows that appear automatically and without your permission. They often display advertising that can interfere with your ability to see the content on the page you are trying to read. A pop-up blocker works with your Internet browser to prevent pop-up windows from automatically opening when you visit a website. Blocking all pop-ups may prevent important features from working.

Turning Off Pop-Up Blockers or allowing exceptions

You can turn most pop-up blockers on and off at any time. This will allow any popups from any website that you visit. You or Your IT Administrator may need to add https://*.trident.edu as a safe site to ALLOW list. This change allows pop-ups for Trident sites only; while blocking pop-ups for all other sites. You can turn most pop-up blockers on and off at any time. Note: This symbol * acts as a wild card to represent all Trident websites. Note: If the browser you are using is not listed below, please do an Internet search on “how to remove pop-up blockers and/or add Trident as a safe site” for your specific internet browser.
