What do you use to block popups?

[RSI]

Well, let's have it.

popup killer

the only complaint i have with that program is that i cant open up new browser windows.

i have one of those mice, and I click that little X

Wow, a smartass.

So far we've got Popup Killer. Anything else?

popup killer works the best for me. to open multiple browser windows, just hold down the ctrl button.

Opera 6 has automatic options to block popups or automatically open them in the background. I use that.

Screw you too, that was an honest answer.

Wow, you too! I guess a little effort is the best remedy to get rid of popups! All I have to do it move it, click, and **BAM*** - the popup is gone-!

Mozilla. Pop-up ads don't even open, but good pop-up windows (such as the PM window) work fine.

The only downside is that what I mentioned is an undocumented featrue that, although implemented long ago, still does not havea nice little checkbox in the Preferences window. You need to add this line:

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

to your prefs.js manually.

Well sorry, sounded pretty sarcastic to me. "one of those little mice, and I click that little X"... wtf? Why post if you're going to say that?

Dude, you can't take a joke. Calm down

So I guess you don't do much browsing, or you don't visit many sites with popups, huh?

[Ryan]

I do visit many sites with popups, but i JUST CLOSE THEM

Pop-up Stopper Pro. Runs in the IE toolbar instead of tray and does a pretty good job of guessing which pop-ups are good and which ones aren't. Costs $19.95, but if you're concerned with pop ups that much I'm guessing that's not an issue.

i highly recommend meaya.com's software. i've tried them all, seriously, puk, proximitron, popup stopper, etc etc etc. this one works the best, no proxy crap, no titles, no urls, it just doens't let ie open the windows if you don't tell it to.

 

[whitelight]

i turn off javascript when i go to sites i know will have a lot of pop-ups.

Nothing.

<< Webwasher >>

 

[J3anyus]

WebWasher.

 

[udonoogen]

is webwasher any good? i used AtGuard for awhile this past semester. it was pretty good. it had a ton of uses ... as a firewall, banner ad blocker, a popupkiller ... and other stuff I probably didn't notice. i dont know how good of a firewall it was ... but it blocked banner ads on pages where you surfed and it had the option of turning off the popup javascript code. i found it very useful. haven't tried it on XP yet, but it worked great on windows 2000.

In Mozilla .97, in Preferences under Advanced, there's a section for scripting with checkboxes listing functions that scripts are allowed to do. Nice browse.. not perfect, but nice (and I just like it so much better than IE).
