OMG! The Proximitron is dead???

[LordJezo]

Still in shock..

Yes but you can still get the most recent version if you poke around for it.

Proxomitron is the best popup blocker ever, plus it deletes stupid ads. I suspect there may be enough third party support with filter development that it should still be good for a while. Once it no longer works, I think maybe I will quit the Internet.

My poor Proxomitron! I'm going to have to find an installer file for when I eventually reformat! One of the best webfilters out there.

It's still available at proxomitron.info - most recently updated in June.

I am going to e-mail them and offer to host their site (and possibly the .exe and .zip files).

That way they don't have to use GeoCities.

Honestly, I've never used a pop-up blocker - maybe I'll try Proximitron

<---Goes off to install the program

 

[Ryan]

Hey, I just went to a webpage and got a popup after installing it....... Looks like I'll have to play around with setting that I know nothing about.....

 

[BillGates]

make sure you enable it and add it to your proxy settings in your browser as the instructions walk you through... -- you'd have to get to a pretty hardcore popup to defeat the proxomitron.

 

[Sephy]

Did you install the proxy server settings?

 

[anxi80]

such sad news. the proximitron has never let me down when it comes to pop ups and banners.

Ah - why don't they come bundled with the program to begin with?!?!?!

Edit - I didn't follow the installation instructions - I need to mess around wiht my proxy settings

Isn't the new google toolbar pretty good at the pop-up blocking?? I had to uninstall proxmitron b/c my brother made me...so I've been relying on my google toolbar ever since.

I'm thinking the same thing. Google works great for me!

Yeah... that's what I use and I never get popups

I hope that Google toolbar isn't just something that automatically closes a popup... With Proximitron, the popup code is filtered out and the popup never happens in the first place.

Any program that just closes popups is less than a program that completely filters them out.

word. Proxomitron acts as a local proxy server and scans all incoming HTML for ads and popups and edits the code before it gets to your browser, meaning that the popup never even has a chance to get to you. Proxomitron owns google.

I always wanted to give this program a try, but I go through a linux gateway and i dont think it will work that way
