The 5 Best Ways to Block Popup Advertising

Why Use This Popup Blocker Option: This is your editor's top suggestion for browsing the Web without popup advertising. The slick new Mozilla Firefox browser not only has integrated popup blocking, but it is also a feature-packed tool for viewing web pages. Even though IE6 is still the de facto standard for web browsers, Mozilla Firefox is quickly winning users over to its lean and mean interface.

Pros: Firefox browser blocks popups, adware, and cookies. It allows specific popups through, upon your command. Firefox also has outstanding general browsing features, like tabbed pages, slick bookmarking features, integrated Google searching, larger screen viewing than IE, faster page transfers, and better security than IE6.

Cons: About 2% of web pages will not render in Firefox, including ActiveX-intensive pages and .asp pages.

There you go, fellow Web users! Those are the Top 5 Suggested Techniques for stopping annoying popup advertising. You can choose to stay with your Safari or Opera or Netscape browser, and install 3rd-party blockers. You can opt for Google Toolbar or Yahoo! Toolbar, or even consider installing XP Service Pack 2 and use IE6 integrated popup blocking. In my opinion, I recommend the two-fold solution of installing SP2 AND switching to Firefox 1.0 browser. Good luck, and happy surfing without popups!
