Each of those browsers has its own popup blocker. Why would you need a third-party one?

not blocking enough popups?
my friend did tweak the one in IE and it does work better now thou.

For Firefox, check here: Popups not blocked (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pop-ups_not_blocked)

I found the Popup Blocker Settings extension to work well.

And for Opera, you can tweak the settings to block all popups:

Hi lodore. Pop-up Stopper Free (http://www.panicware.com/product_psfree.html) of Panicware supports Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.

Well it says "Pop-Up Stopper free edition supports IE and Netscape only" so...

[thanatos_theos]

Sorry about that. According here (http://www.panicware.com/product_psfree2.html), the free supports Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla only. So no Opera.

And no Firefox either. Mozilla =! Firefox.

Yeah, the write-up on the site is quite confusing.

Mozilla=Firefox?
AOL=Netscape?
MSN=Internet Explorer?

Pop-up Stopper Free v3.1 was released 3 years ago so I guess it might have some problems with the latest versions of IE and Fx.

EDIT: Pop-up Stopper Free v3.1 is only compatible with Mozilla Firefox v1.7.3 or older. Info here (http://www.panicware.com/supportdisplay.html?supportid=99).

I think it's about time that Panicware update Pop-up Stopper Free/Pro.

Well it says that if you have "AOL, MSN, Firefox, Opera" you should their professional pop-up blocker.

Also I think by Mozilla, they are referring to the old Mozilla Suite not to Firefox.
