Configuring Chrome Browser

Introduction

Careful attention to browser configuration settings helps to ensure the best Synapse performance. Default settings usually need modification. For example, default settings in Chrome can negatively affect your ability to open PowerJacket and Viewer windows at the same time, if pop-up blocker policies are applied to PowerJacket.

Note:

If you want to save your window positioning, you need to add a Chrome extension. See Browser Considerations.

Creating a Clean Chrome Profile

Introduction

In addition to configuring Google Chrome to accept pop-up windows from the Synapse server, you should also use a clean user profile. A clean Google Chrome profile is a profile other than the Google Chrome default that does not use extensions or add-ons.

You should avoid synchronizing Google Chrome profiles with other accounts because synchronization might import unwanted settings or extensions. Do not use a clean Google Chrome profile to log in to applications other than Synapse.

Steps

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click on your name. (Google Chrome displays the current user name in the upper-right corner of the window).
3. Select Switch person.
4. Click Add person at the bottom of the window.
5. Create a name and email address for the person in the Set up Chrome dialog box. If later you no longer need the Google Chrome profile, you can remove the person.
6. Verify that the check box for Choose what to sync is cleared.
7. Click No thanks to decline synchronization.
