Disable pop-up blocker in Kiosk mode

[Wright, Keith]

I have published and App for our NWEA web based map testing for the Chromebooks, but it will not run correctly because of the pop-up blocker. Does anybody know how to disable that from within an app?

I'm guessing here, but if the popup blocker could be disabled from within an app, hackers/spammers would be all over that.

Perhaps its a policy you can push out...  In Chrome Device Management - Chome - Public Session Settings, there is an option to allow all, none, or selected pop-ups.  More importantly, you can whitelist sites for pop-ups ... that's probably your best bet.

I was thinking the same thing about hackers etc... I have tried public policy white-listing but no success yet. I will keep working with it.

Thanks.

You can use policy to push out settings - and you have some options

Admin Console > Device Management > Chrome > User Settings > Choose the organizational unit you want to apply the policy to

Look for > Pop-ups - Locally applied

1. Pop-ups > You can set it so users can configure it on their own, Allow All or Block All
   
2. Allow Pop-ups on These Sites > Put one pattern on each line.
   
3. Block Pop-ups on These Sites > Put one pattern on each line

Did you ever figure out how to allow popups in custom Kiosk apps?
