Best "Free" Popup killers? HELP!!!

[doniej 0]

I was wondering if anyone had some good advice as to what is the best "FREE" popup killer for XP? ;( I've read about them all...just about, but I trust your advice as to which one is "really" good. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Try Free surfer MKII. It works great and also it can stop gif ads.

 

I think the address is:

or... switch to Phoenix

Heh, I've been using Phoenix for 3 or 4 months, and I love it. I only use IE now for MSFT sites (Windows Update, etc.). I personally like to kill popups, ads, etc. with the browser, rather than a third party utility. On a sidenote, I stumbled across a neat .css for Phoenix (presumably Mozilla, too) that removes some, if not most, banner ads. If anyone is interested, I can post the contents here.

Tweak XP has a "pop up blocker" built into the tool too

Code:

That file gets saved as 'userContent.css' and gets placed in:

\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\default\(random string)\chrome\

Here's a pair of screenshots, one with Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, and the other Phoenix 0.5 with the above listed userContent.css applied.

do you know where i would put this file in my opera directory?? Or will it not work for opera. I dont know much about HTML and webstuff ;(, so any help is greatly appreciated.

[adamvjackson 0]

Honestly, I don't know, I haven't used Opera... You could try doing a search for a custom/default css... I'll try installing Opera in the next few days and check it out.
