Browser Settings

For the best experience when working with Gitpod, we recommend you whitelist the .gitpod.io domain in your browser for the following permissions:

  • Paste content from your clipboard to a Gitpod workspace
  • Pop-ups, to preview your dev server in a new tab

Each browser handles this slightly differently:

Pop-ups

🤷‍♂️ We can’t find a solution to whitelist all Gitpod workspaces. If we missed anything, please do let us know through the feedback widget below 🙏.
