Extensions in Google Chrome

Edited

Extensions can enhance your browsing experience, but some may cause compatibility issues with HirePOS. This guide will help you identify and manage extensions that may interfere with HirePOS functionality.

Ad Blockers

Ad blockers like AdBlock, AdBlock Plus, and AdLock can disrupt HirePOS operations, particularly the report viewer and Google sign-in process. Consider whitelisting HirePOS to allow these extensions to run smoothly within the app.

Anti-Virus Extensions

While essential for security, antivirus extensions can sometimes conflict with HirePOS. If possible, disable the extension for specific sites like 'app.hirepos.com' to avoid disruptions. Otherwise, disable the extension entirely when using HirePOS. Products like VIPER are known to prevent the MYOB/Xero exporters from working properly.

Grammarly

Grammarly may cause issues with data input in HirePOS. To ensure smooth operation, disable the Grammarly extension for HirePOS. Simply turn off the "Check for writing suggestions on app.hirepos.com" setting in the Grammarly extension.

Diagnosing Extension Issues

If you encounter persistent problems, disable all extensions, restart your browser/computer, and gradually re-enable them to pinpoint the conflicting extension. This method can help identify and resolve compatibility issues effectively.

Another way to check if extensions are a factor is to try logging into HirePOS using your browser in "incognito" or "InPrivate" mode. Expentions are disabled when using these modes.
