Its not free but 30 days trial.

Its pretty good. But if you click on something that opens a popup it wont go unless you disable it using a button.

Try it, it may fit your needs.

Whilst I don't agree with their use because of ad revenue, some sites DO go overboard with popups, some enough to crash your browser :mad:

So here are a few:

Windows:

Pop-Up Stopper - http://www.panicware.com/
PopUpCop - http://www.popupcop.com/
WebWasher - http://www.webwasher.com/en/products/wwash/download_win.htm

Macintosh:

WebFree - http://www.falken.net/webfree/
WebWasher - http://www.webwasher.com/en/products/wwash/download_mac.htm

Can't you disable pop-ups from your browser without software?

Or Netscape, or Internet Explorer...
But it involves disabling java so a lot of the other cutesy stuff on too many websites won't work eirthe.

In OPera is the only one where you can stop popups but java will still run.
