What's the best pop up blocker?

[50]

Anyone know? I don't have one on my comp and the ads are driving me insane

 

[SuepaFly]

The Google Toolbar works great for me.

 

[manly]

Mozilla isn't bad.

Agreed. Free and effective.

yeah I just tried it out, I'd prefer one that is not visible while surfing the web, are there any good ones out there that do that?

Okay, I usually have google tool bar up anyway, but if you want an actual prog specifically for it...

From the sticky above:
From Phunktion - Pop Up Stopper
From eplebnista - Pop Up Killer

You can search for others posts.

I use PopUpCop.

The new Google Toolbar sounds interesting though.

per recommendation from this forums. I've tried about 3 different ones. And this is the best for me.

Mozilla and Firebird. Internet Explorer is so far behind the times that it's getting kind of ridiculous.

Panicware was good, but the best I have seen yet is Google Toolbar, This has blocked all popups for me so far yet allowed my PM windows here to pop up. I always had to CTRL click using pop-up stopper.

Firebird is smaller. I don't like the separate search box though - Moz's search from address bar is much more convenient IMHO.

The great thing about moz/firebird is that if you find a problem, you can go complain to the actual developers, whereas with IE, if you have a problem, you can send an email to /dev/null (a black hole... stuff goes in, but nothing ever comes out or happens)

yeah. firebird is gonna be mozilla soon, so it wont make much of a difference.

[Doh!]

Firebird. If you need to use IE then MyIE does a good job blocking popups.

 

[ethebubbeth]

mozilla is great, mozilla firebird is better

 

[dukdukgoos]

Another vote for Mozilla/Firebird

 

[jimmyl930]

I'd have to say that Mozilla's is the best. It doesn't stop pop-ups that are needed and blocks everything else almost perfectly.

 

[Pacfanweb]

Pop Up Stopper is a great one for me.

 

[Vampirrella]

i just tried the google toolbar thingie and its pretty darn good.. after 5 days of surfing its stopped over 520 pop ups.. not bad!

You can get rid of the search box by right-clicking on the toolbar and selecting "customize", then dragging the search bar into the box that appears. You can also move around all the icons this way if you wish, and toggle between large, small, and no icons at all (only text).

Can you then search from the address bar? (type in whatever you want, press up, then enter)

a quick question about the Google Toolbar...if i uncheck (hide) it so that it is not visible while using IE, will it still block popups, or must the toolbar remain visible?
