A popup blocker should always have two main features:
- Advanced popup blocking – We’re not talking about the integrated popup blocker in Internet Explorer or Firefox. We’re talking a full-out, full-featured program that blocks all popups, including Java and Flash based ones.
Some applications go so far as to also block advertisements, such as Google’s AdSense. We consider this a secondary component of these applications.
- Configurability – The user should be able to specify websites that are exempt from blocking or be able to temporarily allow popups.
There are a lot of choices on the market right now. We’ve narrowed them down to five market leaders- we highly recommend that you start with our recommended software.
