Windows users can avoid pop-ups by downloading a FREE version of
Pop-up Stopper.

It really does. Haven't seen a pop-up since I downloaded the toolbar.

"Alas, we computer users must endure pop-up advertising," district judge Gerald Bruce Lee ruled in a US court in Virginia. Not if you are a Mac user and run Apple's Safari.

Yeah I guess being proactive and volunteering to do computer setup for friends and family reduces one's workload in the long run. I'm such a procrastinator, I get to deal with the machines AFTER they've already become a crisis. Bah!

It's the best, as far as I've seen. No popups. Free.

IE for various flavors of Mac OS has a preference for turning off scripting which also completely defeats pop ups.IE for Windows does not have any such option.
Every version of IE for Windows I have seen does have this option. It's in Tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level.

Bump for future reference.

OmniWeb 4.5 for Mac OS X also blocks popups, as does Safari. I think the only Macintosh browser that doesn't is Internet Exploder. Glad there is lots of browser competition for the Macintosh so I dont have to use Microsoft's inferior product.

I use Popup Protector. It wasn't free, but it works great. If I want a popup, I simply hold the ctrl key down.

"There are browsers that kill them - like... " ...Internet Explorer!
People can stop pop-ups by turning off the java controls in IE. I do.

I like my Avant Browser. It kills pop-ups 95 percent of the time. I use Ad-aware to flush out the spybots and thanks to the recent MSBlaster scare, my firewall is nice and tight.

You bet!
At work, I used IE extensively -- but it was a memory hog, and not stable. I had previously used the 7.x version of Avant, but it had that problem of the CPU maxing out at 60-100%, even when idle.
Now that problem's resolved, and I'm a happy man!
Well, in that way, anyway!

\I answered my own question,
Most Extensible
Mozilla Firebird is easily extended
Mozilla Firebird's user interface can be extended by developers using industry standards such as XML, CSS, JavaScript etc, as well as complex C++ add on modules. Examples of such extensions include everything from relatively simple utilities to advanced tools such as a JavaScript Debugger and Document Inspector. A full list of existing extensions is available here. Extensions are easily installed.
That's why Mozilla Firebird has the best search functions of any browser. Ctrl+K takes you to the Google bar.
Both were limitations in my build.
