Re: More Pop-ups Lately With SP2 Popup Blocker

You know, this thread is interesting in the sense that you have all these applications attempting to reign in all the exstensible features of the various browsers.

I had commented about MS attempt to increase security with the "zone settings" approach. (old thread) But like that interface, whats problematic is the actual operation of these apps. MS forces you to manually "add" sire to various vzones, either cutting and pasting - or typing.... What's worse, with all the sub domains, it's a mess....

As it has been mentioned, to really work a series of filters needs to be maintained and adjusted with these apps.

What "irks" me is that no one can depend on be alerted to what content is wanted or rejected.

I want a pure "HTML only" web, or at least a new "default" listing of how many browser extensions are required for a given website's homepage to display and work properly.

A "letter code" could be required for websites that demand you open your browser to scripting, asp, animation, etc...

But I digress......

Just stumbled onto this thread. Tried the four links that Instant Karma posted, just out of curiosity. With IE 6 three out of the four produced popups. Using Firefox (just installed it yesterday and getting to like it more and more) only the second link produced a popup. Just my two cents worth.

Does that mean that Firefox is three times better at blocking poppus than IE6? Cheers!
