Both Mozilla and Opera (and I think galeon too) have preference settings that let you block popups, so you don't need a separate one.

Check for a menu option called "preferences" or "user preferences"

I don't have it with me or I'd let you know exactly where....but the option is available.

click around and I'm sure you'll find it.

If you want an ad blocker that isn't just a feature of one or the other program but instead blocks ads for your whole system check out http://www.privoxy.org

It rules...

You should see what antileach.com looks like without ads. It's funny.
