best popup blocker, IE or Google?


Recommended Posts

Posted

IE6 comes with a popup blocker. I have Google toolbar installed which

also has a popup blocker. Can anyone tell me which is the best to use

and why? Should we use both or would that be detrimental?

 

Thanks

IMO they are pretty much exactly the same, TBH. Only use one. Pick one and

stick with it.

Firefox with Adblock plug-in. You could also use this:

If you still want to use IE, then I would remove Google. The more

modules added to IE, the less likely IE will be "stable."

 

BTW: IE 7's pop-up blocker is a "bit" better than IE 6. Howvever the

newer phishing filter is bad. (it slows down IE too much.)

I really like Firefox with its popup blocker by default. It's been

working just fine for years. Displays webpages just fine, just blocks

the popups.
