i use ff and i've never seen a pop-up (well, not for a long time). maybe the adblock plus with filterset g addon is sorting them? Or maybe its noscript? or maybe I just don't visit dodgy enough sites, though I doubt that
ok, just installed adblock plus, will give this a go: tony, can u explain a bit about the 'filterset g addon' setting? how do i add this. thanks:)BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!

Sorry to butt in but can I suggest reading this before installing filterset.g?
http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#filterset.g
From the official* AdBlock Plus website. It gives advice on other ready made filters you can subscribe to.
* At least, I think it's the official site.0 -
^thanks for that: i had no idea adding such a filter (g) would slow down browsing

its a set of custom filters and an updater for adblock plus, it 'did' block a lot more ads than adblock on its own, between a decent hosts file, adblock, filterset g and noscript I see virtually no adverts, ever. definitely no popups or banner ads. Its hard to say the difference it makes to browsing, but it must be faster (not loading the images) but i'm not prepared to turn things off and find outUtinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0
