Pop-ups on the internet have increased significantly lately. For example, every time I go to this forum, I now get a pop-up. I am using Mozilla FireFox and have the pop-up blocker turned on. It is difficult to navigate on ebay without pop-up windows blocking the view space. Yahoo is the same way. Many pop-ups appear if the mouse is positioned over some ad without even clicking the ad.
What is a good pop-up blocker to prevent these annoyances?
Message to the folks that control this forum: As you know, the pop-up is an advertisement for your products. It is just annoying your customers.

My internet explorer under tools / pop up blocker sttings ... check high -block all popups ... it works for me ....

Earl, don't know what the problem could be; I use Mozilla & have no pop-ups at either site. Are you running the latest version?

On the other hand, it's those pop-ups that are paying to keep the forum on the internet.
Wow....really surprised this thread hasn't been removed yet....based upon some of the other

I'm still wondering what all the fuss is about----I've got Chrome, Firefox, and the beloved Internet Exploder--I mean Explorer---and adblockers and still no pop ups--

I think what is be referred to are "expandebles" as they aren't opening separate windows but expanding banners that are rolled over, or in some cases just a matter of opening a page. These are premium ad materials offered to by the site to advertisers. They will usually have an "X" in a corner to get rid of them. Pop-up blocker settings don't effect these. It's the price of using the sites.

I hear ya EARL, these pop ups are a BIG pain in the ***.

Pops ups and slow loading pages due to graphic rich content. Both reasons I don't come here often. 40/yr subscription fee make me a former subscriber. Nice magazine but 30/yr is about all I can justify even though I can afford, it just goes against my fiscal conservatism.
