Ad blockers, javascript disablers, and tracking blockers should be disabled for
the cloud9 domain, or connecting to the workspace might be impacted.
Cloud9 requires third-party-cookies. You can whitelist the [specific domains]( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/troubleshooting.html#troubleshooting-env-loading).

### Launch Cloud9 in the recommended region:
{{< tabs name="Region" >}}
{{{< tab name="Oregon" include="us-west-2.md" />}}
{{< /tabs >}}


1. When the Cloud9 environment comes up, open the AWS Cloud9 service in the console in the region where you launched your Cloud9 above:

{{< tabs name="Cloud9RegionSpecificConsole" >}}
{{{< tab name="Oregon" include="cloud9-us-west-2.md" />}}
{{< /tabs >}}

2. Click the `Open IDE` button as shown below:

3. Customize the environment by closing the **welcome tab**
and **lower work area**: and opening a new **terminal** tab in the main work area:
![c9before](/images/cloud9before.png)

4. Your workspace should now look like this:
