iPad pop up blocker
 

Flica and other websites use pop ups and my toggle switch is grey and not movable. Google says go to restrictions but that was grey too and after iOS 12 I don’t even see the restrictions tab.

Any help?

The morons, yes, they are morons, who control the management of the iPad, have various things blocked on our iPads. They like to go and adjust these items from time to time.

Currently "Pop ups in Safari not allowed" according to their restrictions.

These are the same morons who blocked iPad sync with iTunes, which prevented us from using the iPad to add movies, music, etc...

Suggest you email our ALPA IT committee and he is very good in contacting the morons who control the iPad and telling them the effects of their moronic actions.

Or download Google chrome or any other non safari browser and it will allow popups because only safari is restricted. See how useless this pop up blocker restriction is? Like I said, morons.

Was going to reply something like this, but I see someone was way ahead of me...

Also I have been using iCab browser for a while which "tells" the web address it is visiting that it is a desktop browser or machine so often this will bypass the most annoying mobile versions of these web pages. It also has quite a few settings that can be tweaked to your liking. Whenever there seems to be a problem loading a website, I always immediately go to iCab. It seems to work well with Flica.

Use your own personal iPad and not the company one?

Who the fudge has one of those???

My thoughts exactly. Everything Apple sells is $1000. I love hearing new hires complain about money (rightfully so honestly) but then have the latest iPhone, persona iPad, and Apple Watch. Am I the only one keeping Casio in business?

Seiko or Citizen! Much classier 😋

Really? Making $200+ Per hour and you can't afford a personal iPad?
Just remember, as long as you have an INOP sticker over the camera it's ok to watch Netflix and porn on the company device....

Then use a chrome book that you can pick up for $130 if you can’t afford your own iPad for $329 instead of the company device.

The iPad spirit gives us doesn’t work very well for distance learning without having to do multiple emails to training to get credit for what you’ve done. It doesn’t display our manuals properly without having to do some stupid workaround just to read the manuals or reference a procedure.

So you’re asking it to display websites properly?

I prefer Omega myself. Apple watches are kinda cheap.

At a previous airline, after some IT-induced EFB shenigans like this which affected flight safety, IT was banned from making any unilateral changes to EFBs. All changes had to be beta-tested by designated pilots (who had access to un-tampered EFBs if needed), and approved by the LCA group before roll-out. That included OS updates and patches too. Priority was flight safety, not pathological IT crowd control urges.

Once IT was put back in their box, the biggest threat to EFB reliability was pilots installing and using other software.

Do we use Comply for distance learning/CBTs for recurrent and whatnot? I thought we used that other app for CBTs?

At my previous employer the comply app just simply didnt work like you said above for training presentations. Had to use a browser, but safari on an ipad also didnt work. Company said we must use a real computer... something about mobile browsers compatibility.
However, there is an app call Puffin (looks like a bird in the logo) that runs the full browser, like a non mobile device and CBTs worked fine. Its kind of finiky, since you are basically running a non mobile browser, on an ipad. But it works great!

Also, seems like the issue with comply pages is fixed. Havent had any pages show up blurry momentarily since last update.

I don’t know, it seems to display pornhub and chaturbate pretty well.

As long as the important stuff works...
