Random Musings of a Curious Mind


"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Pop-Up Blockers

There are some webhosts and sites that are just loaded with pop-ups. When I first started my website, I had free service, so my host put ads on the side of my pages. Now, that - to my mind - wasn't nearly as bad as dealing with constant pop-ups.

About the same time, I volunteered as an editor for an open source project and realized that I seriously needed a popup blocker. The poor souls who have free webhosting with companies that load these pop-ups can't do much about it, but as a web-surfer I sure was going to make them stop.

It's not difficult to find software to do the job. But, it can be difficult to find reliable software to do the job. The best ones, and they are out there, also block adware, spyware, and phishing sites.

I still get the occasional pop-under, which is a whole 'nother story. But there's just no reason to put up with the other annoyances. So I don't.
