Ask and ye shall receive. I won't hesitate to send it to anyone. :D
I use Safari, but I think it's only for Mac. No pop-ups at all, unless I it's something I clicked.
I used Pop-upStopper on my pc, but it would block ALL pop-ups, including when I needed a new window.
I like IE. I have grown accustomed to it. Anything specific to just stop ads?
Edit your hosts file.
It works wonders.
Can you explain how to do this?Quote:

Go to Kazaalite.com and download theirs, because I'm too lazy to explain it.
Bah, I got Mozilla and I still get pop-ups. May have to give Opra a try sometime I guess
Whoever invented pop-ups should burn-in-Hell and die ....in that order, and then burn in Hell some more :mad:
If there was a pop-up window you needed..I believe if you hold shift or ctrl, it would allow it.Quote:

I let my Norton Personal Firewall stop the pop-ups
I use the Alexa Toolbar. The first time you visit a site that has pop-ups, it asks if you want to allow them. Click "Yes" or "No" once and be done with it. It is the simplest, neatest pop-up blocker I have ever used.
PROS
[li]The toolbar loads automatically when you open your browser. You don't have to fire up a separate program.[/li][li]You never have to see a pop-up ad. They are not allowed to load at all if you don't want them.[/li][li]You can choose to allow or block pop-ups on a visit-by-visit basis, blocking ads from a site one day and allowing them the next. It's not an option most people will use, but it's nice to have a choice.[/li][li] If you change your mind later on, access the options at the top of your screen and you can modify the lists of sites whose ads you blocked/allowed. So if you let a site serve ads, then the ads start to get too frequent or too obnoxious, you can add the site to the "blocked" list.[/li][li]The Toolbar is valuable even without the ad-blocking. It offers Internet searches, archives of Web pages (experience TNL 1.0!), and a ton of related information. Our entry can be found here. All those options in the left column are integrated into the toolbar, including the Wayback Machine.[/li]
CONS
[li]Since the Alexa Toolbar is the Nielsen box of the Internet, it does keep track of the sites you visit. If you want your favorite sites to get more exposure, this is actually a good thing.[/li][li]It only works with Internet Explorer.[/li]
You can get the Toolbar off the page I linked.
