Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox and Opera all offer a popup blocking feature. In the case of IE, you need Windows XP with SP2, which includes the popup blocker. All three web browser have extensions, add-ons and plug-ins to enhance the individual popup blocker. In the case of IE, you can install the Google toolbar or Yahoo! Toolbar. As for Firefox, you can use extensions, such as Adblocker or NoScript. Opera has a great popup blocker and users can select the level of popup blocking.
