Firefox Popups

[Esco!]

Tired of all those popups that your blocker doesnt seem to stop
Well now you can get rid of most by simply doing this:

1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
2. Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
3. Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
4. Set the value to 2.

And you're done

It's a free web browser like IE, Netscape, or Opera. You can browse separate web sites in multiple tabs, unlike IE which requires you to have separate windows. Firefox is also better at blocking pop-ups, and is also better at storing and managing your cookies.

You can download Firefox here:

Opera works on more sites and the blocker is great!

Both are free. Not all sites work with all browsers so try them all.
