Rid yourself of x10 popups and more.

http://technoerotica.net/mylog/optouts.html

Looks like a listing of several:

x10
doubleclick
advertising
etc.

I know x10 was posted sometime before this one has more opt out options. I like some popups for things like specials at shopping sites etc. This way you can kill those not related to what you are doing...somewhat.

Fyi, repost.

Where the heck is it, couldn't find it. Perhaps x10 but not the other popup removals...

Original thread Took a second to find as they did 'popups' as 'pop ups'. Probably why you didn't find it.

Here's a quick way to get rid of all unwanted popups...
goto mozilla.org and download mozilla.
under preferences -> advanced -> scripts and windows
Uncheck the following boxes:
Alllow scripts to do the following:
1. Allow windows to open by themselves
2. Allow scripts to move or resize windows.
3. Allow scripts to move windows under other windows.

And wow, no pop up window will ever appear unless you actually click a link for it.

I think optouts are pretty weak, in the same way that responding to spam ("Click here to unsubscribe") is more likely to get you -more- spam, because you have just confirmed your address to them.

What I do, rather than mess with all those settings (and screwing up my experience on sites with javascript content I -want- to see, such as multimedia at CNN/Yahoo/etc), is use WebWasher. It is a simple proxy server that you run in the system tray (and doesn't eat up many sys resources). You set your browser to use proxy at localhost, then set your options and browse. It will get rid of cookies, ads, popups, whatever you tell it to. If you come to a site that doesn't display correctly because of the filtering, you simply click on it's tray icon once, a big X comes over its logo, and it lets everything through, until you click it again and the filtering recommences.

Did I mention it was free?

PS> There is also a version for linux so this is not strictly a windows solution--I just figured I'd stick with that, since 99.99% of the people reading this will be on some version of it.

i personally just run Popup Killer. It's free and works very well. It also has a nice feature to let you update the blacklist as well as upload your own blacklist to their server to be included.
