If users have consented to give diagnostic and other types of data to Microsoft, why should users be vulnerable to getting their data stolen by Google and random advertising companies and shown annoying ads? Ever since Google Chrome launched Manifest v3, some former Chrome users have switched to Firefox. I love Edge's functionality, but I can't resist the ad-blocking power of Ublock origin. As of right now, that is an mv2 extension. Knowing that mv3 is going to set limits on how these extensions work, I'm concerned if I should use Edge in the future. I totally agree Microsoft Edge should follow Google Chrome in improving security and necessary features to get rid of malicious extensions when developing mv3. But should Microsoft Edge follow EVERYTHING including weakening ad blockers, which helps Google advertise more because they're an advertising company? Here's some more information on this: Microsoft begins Manifest v3 tests in Edge that impacts extensions like content blockers - gHacks Te....That just compromises not only our privacy but also our freedom of choice to use certain extensions. If Microsoft Edge implemented an ad blocker or at least supported ad blockers like Firefox does (Here's some information about Firefox's response: -ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manife...), wouldn't it be great for users? Well, I respect everyone else's take on this. Share your thoughts!
Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox all come with a pop-up blocker, which must be configured to allow Blackboard Learn to use pop-up windows. If you have an external pop-up blocker, such as the Google Toolbar, please see the section on configuring external pop-up blockers for Blackboard Learn.
Please Note: Many anti-virus programs also include pop-up blockers which can interfere with applications such as Blackboard Learn. If you have configured your browser to allow pop-ups or have them turned off and still have issues with pop-up windows consult your anti-virus documentation for allowing pop-up windows.
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.
Some popular Penn-affiliated websites requiring pop-ups include U@Penn and the Penn Online Directory.
Follow the instructions below to configure your web browser to allow pop-up windows for your selected websites.
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.
When a website attempts to launch a new pop-up window, you may see dialog boxes alerting you of pop-up windows that have been blocked. Follow the instructions below to allow pop-up windows on a per-website basis.
