Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, easy to integrate, FREE, non-spyware, pop up blocker for IE6.
Have been using the Google one but this just doesn't cut it any more with latest breed of pop ups. Also tried the NView one, and that was pointless.
I would use Firefox (which has the best i've seen) but this browser just doesn't work properly on many pages, and is slower than IE6 and doesn't work with Getright.

:beer:

firefox slower? let me laugh

webwasher is a pretty good pop up blocker.

It's slower for me,

Average Time of 3 x Full Page Refreshs (local ISP Blueyonder.co.uk),

IE6 = 5.85 Seconds (5.87,5.55,6.14)
FF (v0.9.2) = 8.31 (11.43,6.86,6.63)

Laugh away, but don't always believe the hype.

Still I do like Firefox for many things, but I wish it sorted Bookmarks alphabetically like IE and the Download manager could find alternate sites like getright, then I would go with it.

Google Toolbar

I use this on all my computers and it works great and not to mention it has the best search engine built right in and it integrates right into the IE Address Bar...

And of course the other is a good one also FireFox - But SP2 is right around bend and it will finally have pop-up blocker built into IE - I'm using SP2 also so it really is pop-up free...

Don't forget to turn off the service and disable Messenger service within your services if you are using 2000 or XP... Have fun... Let me know what you think...

gotta agree about the gooogle toolbar. POW! from AnalogX is also a great tool and will block things google may miss...

Google doesn't take care of the Popup you get when loading warp2search main page. i.e. 'CONGRATULATIONS - YOUR A WINNER'. I must be so lucky I seem to win every time
It worries me that there are enough idiots in the world to click on these sort of popups to make it worthwhile for them to keep appearing, thats what irritates me the most.

Ah well i'll stick it out with Google, at least until SP2 comes along, maybe the only useful part of it. Aready got good firewall & DX9.0c installed, what else does it do?

Thanks.

BANNER QUESTION - WHATS YOUR IQ, CLICK HERE!
Answer - Low, but not low enough to make me click there!

have u enabled pipelining in firefox ??? to load simultanous ... this may fix ya speed problem

I also use the Google toolbar to block popups. But like others I kept getting popups from right here, Warp2Search.

Since I also run Norton's Internet Security program I turned on it's popup blocker. Norton blocks Warp2Search's popups!!!

So I now run BOTH Google popup blocker and Norton popup blocker. I haven't had ANY popups anywhere since!

btw.. Norton let's some popups through. This is why I run both blockers.

I took the URL from that damned pop-up and put in my Restricted sites on IE, haven't seen it since...(and feel a lot more like a winner!)
Install SpyBot, AdAware and SpywareBlaster along with the Google toolbar and POW!, if using IE your life will be MUCH easier online while surfing...

Yes, the technical costs are so low that only 0.001% (or what was it?) has to fall into the trap to make it profitable.

Same holds for spam.

There's just no escaping, aaaaaargh, good thing I'm going on a holiday tomorrow. :finger:

where's that mertsch? may be i could try that
btw, i'm a ff user

EDIT: never mind.

EDIT2:

Yes ha ha, very helpful. :wink:

I use Firefox, and it's plenty fast for me... (is 2-3 seconds on a page refresh really going to hurt you?) Try one of the optimized builds:

you may try this tool for pipelining options
