X10 was the most important reason why I installed Pop-up Stopper. This is truly getting ridiculous. Once I had my Pop-up Stopper off and I was reading an article at excite.com (or was it NYTimes.com?)... Before I knew I had three X10 windows-- and I hadn't even touched any links! They are like cockroaches... crawling under your main browser... And I love it when Pop-Up stopper makes those "pop" noises when it squashes those buggers!

...there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that x10 is associated with Carnivore.

Rumors on the internet suggest that the x10 company may be a government funded project that connects, through mechanism as yet unknown, with the FBI Carnivore project.
Dude, that's not JUST a picture of camera. It IS a camera that turns your display into a two-way monitor.;)

I bought alot from x10.com, then once these beyond intrusive ads started appearing, I decided never to shop there again.
BOYCOTT them!

| Like X-10 is the only one????
I have seen many different ones.... all in the exact same format (size, placement, etc)
This is a marketing company behind this somewhere not any individual business advertiser.
Problem with all the Pop Up stoppers is they kill all NEW windows calls, even ones I initiate. Though I would be glad to hear of one that doesn't

I contacted the webmaster and was told that you should only get one popup per login session regardless of how many pages you hit. I really don't believe that. Do you? |

Re: x10 POPUP BYTES
if so, how come at the end of the day I can have between 3 to six of them lying in wait, depending on what sites I visited?
Also - if you disable advert cookies, as you should for other reasons, then they don't know its you again.. and can't stop sending you the popups. |

Pop-up stopper lets you hold down CTRL while you click on a link with a javascript window opening call and it will let it open. It's not bad at all...if you click on a link you want and you see the stopper tray icon flashing, you know what's up and just hold down ctrl and click again and presto! |

Re: Internet Roaches!
what do you prefer: an internet free of pop-up ads where there aren't free services to be found, or an internet ripe with free services that are funded by pop-up ads that are easily disposed of?
quit yer bitchin' and help keep the internet free. |

Re: Internet Roaches!
I reserve my right to hate pop-up advertisements. And I reserve my right to bash them whenever I want to. (We have this thing called free speech, remember? ) If companies want to advertise, there are lots of unintrusive ways of doing so. Spending God-know-how-much money for the pop-under ads won't do anything for X10's bottom-line. It's already done wonders for their reputation-- it did much more harm than my expression of irritation.
You go ahead and enjoy them. As for me, I could care less.
