Phoenix has an unwanted popup blocker, works great. Phoenix runs the fastest out of all the mozilla based browsers, it's basically mozilla lite, give it a try.

Konqueror as well has a setting to let you choose between allowing/disallowing and asking for pop-ups. I have mine set for ask, because sometimes popups are used for good and not evil...

I just did a quick search on my site, and I found two utilities for Linux: Privoxy and WebCleaner. I think that Privoxy is the the more popular.

If you are looking for a server version check WebWasher. It's developed by Siemens (a quality german company *g*).

Mozilla's pop-up blocking is different: only unrequested pop-ups, meaning ads, ads and ads. It still pops up requested ones (that you click) such as your address book in Web-based e-mail.

When I'm on a wintendo I'll install WebWasher by default because it's quick and easy configurable. The Linux version last time I checked had some stuff disabled, that's bad...
