Great popup blocker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.panicware.com/ there is also a free version on their website.

I was running Zonealarm but it was stopping some popup that are part of some websites. So I went back to sygate firewall also free. And added Pop-Up Stopper® Free.

If you want a site to let popup in you just add that site to your allowed popups

Firefox is also very good at blocking popups - even a little better than the latest Internet Explorer, which tends to let them through sometimes.

Cobra the reason I have not changed over to Firefox there are still one thing I like better in Mozilla "bookmark this group taps" I have know Idea why it's not in Firefox.

DO you think firefox has a better popup blocker then Mozilla? Firefox does it use a newer engine? Thanks

I haven't ever used Mozilla, so I can't say. The Firefox popup blocker does seem to work a bit better than Internet Explorer, though.

Firefox isn't to everyone's tastes, I know. However, a lot of people (myself included) would be better off to at least try it.

Mozilla vs. FireFox and Thunderbird

For those who are unclear on the differences between the Mozilla package and Firefox / Thunderbird, here it is:

1.

Mozilla is a complete package meaning it comes with email, browser, address book, newsgroup, and chat applications integrated.
2.

FireFox is a stand-alone browser application. It doesn’t have email built-in. There is a chatzilla extension available.
3.

Thunderbird is the stand-alone email application. It doesn’t have a browser built-in. The address book is included.
4.

If you use Mozilla for email and click on a link within an email, it will open them in Mozilla not FireFox even when FireFox is the default browser.
5.

The applications are similar, yet different. The look and feel is different. It requires experiencing it for yourself to understand this.
6.

Commands and features are not identical. For instance, Mozilla has F9 to open the sidebar with search, history, bookmarks, etc. whereas FireFox only opens Bookmarks and History in the sidepanel via Ctrl+B and Ctrl+H respectively. There are a few extensions to do more with this.
7.

FireFox has fewer options because it doesn’t have other applications integrated with it, which can make it easier to modify.

I prefer the Google toolbar for blocking popups.
