Hello,
Another great free Popup Blocker Test (http://www.popupcheck.com) is located at PopupCheck.com. They also list and rate the top ten free popup blockers.
Thanks,
Jim.

Not effective?
The most recent edit put the words "not effectively" next to IE XP SP2 in the browser list. That seems a bit POV to me, since not all other pop-up blockers are 100% effective. And IE has settings for it that can tweak the effectiveness of its pop-up blocking, which that comment doesn't take into account. -- [[User:LGagnon|LGagnon]] 01:10, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
- I removed it. We're better off without it. --Spug 14:26, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
browsers that block pop ups
iCab has blocked pop ups on the Mac for at least 5 years (http://www.icab.de)
Pop-up blocking has gotten better
Pop-up blocking has gotten better over the past few years - especially with non-Microsoft products. One software product I used a few years ago was pretty much all or nothing. It'd just block all pop-up windows, even those that the user requested. The product had it so your pushed the ctrl key to bypass the popup blocker when clicking on a link and allow the pop up to work. The built in software on Firefox has been for me over 90% effective. I get unrequested pop-ups only once in a great while, and almost never have problems with requested pop-ups.

Error in Firefox
This article, along with the article for Adware, doesn't show up correctly for me in Firefox. In both articles the first paragraph does not appear. Does anyone know why this is? -- LGagnon 23:33, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Works fine for me. Are you using Firefox 1.0.4? Perhaps you have a greasemonkey script or other extension that's interfering with them? One of my AdBlock filters prevents me from seeing the image in this article. ··gracefool |☺ 01:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. The Sponsored Links Remover script for GreaseMonkey was the cause. -- LGagnon 05:07, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
- This is one of the problems with Greasemonkey; there have been several high-profile cases of people mistaking the effect of a greasemonkey script to a change in a website. The developers are considering how to address this. But this whole section is off-topic :J ··gracefool |☺ 10:26, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
