Pop up stoppers for Linux?
 

I just did a search in the Apps section of Linux.org but found nothing in the way of Panicware's Pop-up stopper...does anything like this exist for Linux?

Thanks!

Get another browser like opera, it has it as standard function...

:newbie:

The only prob with that is that Opera must be registered (for <gasp> money!) or I have to deal with <gasp> <grrr> <arrgh> adware!

Any other suggestions?

most decent browsers can stop javascript popups, go explore. galeon for one is cool

Mozilla is completly free and as far as I know does all that opera does(I love mozillas tabbed browsing) but go to edit>Prefrences>Advanced>Scripts and Windows, and you can set it for several things, go check it out.

I've never used it, but JunkBuster (I think that's what it's called) should do what you want.

Edit:

And while the topic is up, just where do you go in Opera to block ad servers?

Konqueror also has a pop up stopper.

Hmm, don't think you can do that just yet... I was reffering to stopping pop ups. This you can find in preferences -> windows.

Just look in ~/.opera subdirs for cached files, they prolly contain the following domainnames:
atdmt.com, bns1.net, phonerocket.com, pennyweb.com, consumerinfo.com, a2zmoonlighter.com and store.yahoo.com.
Either add them to your /etc/hosts like for example "127.0.0.1 store.yahoo.com", as an in/out DENY/DROP rule to your fw or block 'em using your local proxy like junkbuster, webwasher or whatever else...
