How well does your pop-up blocker work?

If this has already been posted before, I apologize.

here is a website that will test how good your pop-up blocker is:

Pop-Up Blocker Test

 

I have the same blocker and Mine failed #12 as well. The rest it passed with flying colors.

Thanks

 

Sigh...I failed 11, 12, 16, 17 and 26!

Thanks

 

I am using the free pop-up blocker I got with my Internet Security Suite - eScan, I'll try yours, but not right now...I'm already downloadin', maybe tomorrow.

 

Using firefox 0.9 version. Failed 3 tests. 21,22,25.

Now using "internet Explorer" browser. Guard -IE is the popup blocker for ie. "Internet Explorer" with guard-ie as popup blocker fails tests.11,12,14,15,16,17,21,22,26,27

Opera version 7.20, outdated version, I almost forgot it was on my computer Opera fails tests 12,17,21,22

Now for overall score:

Firefox 0.9 version: Fails 3 tests

Opera 7.20 version: Fails 4 tests

Internet Explorer with guard-ie as popup blocker fails 10 tests

 

I failed a couple using FF 1.0. I'd previously used the panicware PU Stopper that Spanner mentions above....and it is very good! I'd stopped using it because I was just never getting any popups with FF? Maybe it's just that I don't go near too many 'dodgy' sites? I might have to rethink?

 

K-Meleon with Proxomitron 4.5j and custom filters passes ALL tests.

 

Hi bigbuck. There is only one website I've encountered with firefox that I get a popup. That's at http://www.drudgereport.com Everytime I go there to read the news..I get a popup

 

Went fine @ your site....FF blocked PU's at start.....Then opened a story and BANG ....Ringtones Ad!

 

I failed on 13 and 21, using FF 1.0 and your filters, what needs to be altered?

Cheers

 

I get no popups on that site

 

Hi BS,

To block #21 (the bookmark popup) make sure you select/enable Onload Unloader which is part of the default Proxomitron pack.

HTH,

Steve

BTW - I pass them all too!

 

Sorry BS, I forgot to include this with my above post.

You can Block 13 by killing flash ... either thru Proxomitron or using other methods.

HTH,

Steve

 

I get a download box on test 22. I'm using Mozilla and Proxo. I beeter figure out why I get that download box when I got to test 22.

 

Well, it seems this was a worth-while post afterall.

I have used it to test different blockers and settled on PanicWare's Pop-Up Stopper Pro.

I'm glad everyone is getting some good use of the site

 

Spanner: It's a valid DIV tag using the ABSOLUTE value. =S Block: Floating Ads {8.d} [test] [jd] is the filter that takes care of it

Blackspear: The pack I'm using is JD5000's.

Here are the Proxomitron filters that kill all 27 tests (I've used the Log feature of Proxomitron to compile this list):

I now have a very secure system and so I was suprised when some of them popups got through.

Jimbob

 

LOL ... Your give'n away All our secrets ... One at a time ... One at a time ...

^_^

 

Not well according to those tests.

Failed 3 of them.

I use Opera and haven't had a bad popup in ages.

Hmm...


snowbound

 

Eh?

 

hi all

tryed this using ff 1.0 and got the following results

ff 1.0 failed on

12,21,22,25

likley would have failed on 13 if i didnt have flash block installed
likley would have failed on 25 if i had java installed

so how do i stop 12,21,22,25 in fire fox as thats my main browser

 

Thats what I thought when I did the test. I failed on some test yet I never have pop-up.
