aaron_ginn Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 If anyone is looking for a good pop-up and banner ad blocker, take a look at Proxomitron. You can download it at: http://www.spamblocked.com/proxomitron/ or from this page with documentation: http://www.sankey.ws/proxomitron.html This is really a proxy for your browser. It's Windows only (sorry Linux and Mac users!) Out of the box it eliminates pop-ups, banner ads, MIDI music on webpages and much, much more! (Geez, I sound like Ron Popeil) Did I mention it's free? This is a sweet little program. You'll need to read the documentation on how to set your browser to point to it. No affiliation. Just a satisfied customer.

Digirunt Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I recently discovered the google toolbar can supress the bodyonunload command within pages and to me these are definately the most annoying popups around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I love Google ... I even have it as my home page ... but I have had to uninstall the Google toolbar on several systems, as it caused problems accessing some sites. -kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEO Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 ... it caused problems accessing some sites. KW, would you elaborate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Sales Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yeah I heard some people didn't really like the new Google toolbar, KW's reason being one of them. Hence the reason why I'm still using the old Google toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsaimule Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Promomitron is the best! It has a new, unofficial site: http://proxomitron.info If you're the type that prefers not to expend mental engergy you might instead consider using the similarly free privoxy: http://privoxy.org Mozilla Firebird 0.7 natively blocks popups: http://mozilla.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevan Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I'm using "Popup-Stopper" from panicware. Even though it's an older version (v2.4) it still does the trick quite nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 (edited) My comments in July, 2003 about issues with Google's toolbar seem to be somewhat dated now, as I have been using the 2.0 version of Google's toolbar quite successfully in the past couple of months. And it's free! I usually disable the advanced options once I install it. Check it out at: http://toolbar.google.com/ Re: Proxomitron -- from the information on the web site, the software looks dated, as it does not indicate that it is XP compatible. Also, the web site implies (?) that the software is no longer being maintained. Can anyone clear this up? -kw Edited December 7, 2003 by TCH-Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awdterr Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Anybody ever try admuncher? I started using it recently on a friend's recommendation. Seems to work pretty good. Written in assembler so it doesn't slow things down at all. www.admuncher.com Only free for 30 days though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schussat Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Firefox also blocks popups. I haven't seen one in well over a year! Whohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunni Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I use PopThis! on my IE and it's awesome. Firebird does it for me. Lately I've been using Firebird more than IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
