Page 1 of Google bar getting worse......popups wise that is......

.....or is it just me?


When I first installed it, it was to stop 3 popups every time I clicked.

It worked.

After 3 days "Ebay" popups started to happen every time I clicked (unless I left the previous window open and then it wouldn`t - if that makes sense :-)) but no matter, as I don`t mind one!

However, a couple of weeks down the line, I am, and I now have 5 in two clicks. Google seems to be catching loads as well (as the counter keeps rising).....

....anyone else, or is it just me??

Sorry to start the "popup" thread again everyone!! :D

I have kept my blocker running for about a week now and have a grand total of 191 pop-ups blocked

Google has blocked 1638 pop-ups for me.

2217 blocked

Ever thought of trying a differnet browser?

I`d recommend giving Mozilla Firefox a go. It has integrated pop up blocking, amongst other things.

I`ve had mine running just over a week and Google has stoped 236.

Google ROCKS at blocking - although it does make errors on DVD Reviewer somtimes. I hear IE 7 will have intergrated pop up blocking.

Just a slight amendment Kip, there will be no IE7 - Ms have said they will stop standalone browsers at IE6. XPSP2 will have a new service pack for IE6 which will have pop-up blocking as an option though.

Hmm

Thought Longhorn had IE7 ? Maybe I dreamt it..

My Google Toolbar seems to block all popups, it`s just those sly movie type ads that seem to get through. Just noticed tonight my Yahoo Companion Toolbar has a new icon on it too. Turns out it`s a pop-up blocker too, so it must have just updated itself with it.
