I am looking for the BEST Pop-Up ad blocker to block as many of those annoying ads as possible. There are many, many choices. Please recommend a blocker so I many vanquish them. Thanks ....

You are talking about blocking popups for IE right?

You will get a lot of people saying "Mozilla".

pop up stopper. u can find it on my website. it wont let another instance of IE open up unless you hold control

 

[dud]

Your assumption is correct. I am using IE.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

I've used Popup Killer in the past. It supports IE and Netscape at the very least, and it may have Opera support as well.

So if you click on a link and it opens a new window it will close it?

I though the program was just buggy when I tried it.

Exactly
Had forgotten how bad the popup crap is until I had to use somebody elses computer (with only IE on it) a few days ago.
I never see em with Mozilla.

That is a very good method.. My hosts file contains tons of sites.. not that many though.



Excellent popup stopper popupcop

POW sux. You have to manually add each site you want to block to a list. The best popup killer BY FAR is Free Surfer

You will get a lot of people saying "Mozilla".

And with good reason. I've been using Mozilla as my main browser since just before 1.0 and it's to the point now where I absolutely can't stand to browse in IE. The web is practically unusable with IE for me.

 

[Walleye]

fair enough. i cant use mozilla.

if there's enough interest, i might be persuaded to host the hosts file 😉


well, i'll have to check with the original writer about that, though.

Ad Shield is the best, does banner ads also

 

[Mavrick007]

Try PopUpCop. It can be set at different levels and you can specify what it blocks from flash, to active x, scripts, and pop ups. It works great since I installed it.

 

[capodeloscapos]

Opera 7 is far better than IE, just try using it And you will never come back to that piece of...

 

[TheWart]

If you use crazy browser, it automatically blocks pop-ups, and is like 99.9% effective (almost so much so that certain legit pop-ups will not open)



I love it; pop-up blocking with tabbed browsing = fun
