| [POLL] Pop-up Blockers - 2008 Member Choice Welcome to the Pop-up Blocker section of the 2008 Member Choice Software Polls.
Wikipedia's explanation for "Pop-ups" is as follows: "Pop-up ads or popups are a form of online advertising on the World Wide Web intended to increase web traffic or capture email addresses. It works when certain web sites open a new web browser window to display advertisements. The pop-up window containing an advertisement is usually generated by JavaScript, but can be generated by other means as well. A variation on the pop-up window is the pop-under advertisement, which opens a new browser window hidden under the active window. Pop-unders do not interrupt the user immediately and are not seen until the covering window is closed, making it more difficult to determine which web site opened them."
A Pop-up blocker can be a stand alone program or intergrated into your browser that prevents the barrage of unwanted ads opening. Now, most of your browsers include pop-up blocking tools or addons.
Please vote for the program/tool/browser you use or have used in the past. Multiple votes are allowed. I got my list from past polls and Wikipedia. If I don't have the program you use listed, please vote for "Other" and supply a link. Thank you for taking the time to vote.

| Re: [POLL] Pop-up Blockers - 2008 Member Choice Nice poll!
Voted for AdMuncher which not-only blocks pop-ups, but blocks any internet based advertising on any internet client, not just web browsers.
In the past I have used the built-in popup blockers in Firefox, IE and the Google Toolbar. But with AdMuncher running those are redundant. | |

Since Ad Muncher doesn't yet work with Vista, I'm using the IE7Pro add-on to IE, and its Ad Blocker componenent works very well.
