I use Mozilla Spacesquid, uh, I mean Mozilla Firefox.

This Firesomething extension is really cool. :)

I have the built in Opera one. I also have this small one that called 'PopUp Killer' for the rare times that I use Internet Explorer

I have the Google Toolbar, but I never use IE anymore anyway. Opera all the way!

I used to use a cracked version of Pop-Up Companion (http://www.panicware.com/product_companion.html) for IE. I count 18, but that as started only two years ago; I had it for much longer on my mom's old computer. Now that I use Opera and Firefox to browse, I have no popup counts.

Firesomething is a Firefox browser extension that allows you to change the name of the browser. You pick two parts - prefix and suffixes, and it randomly makes a name from a list of names. So you could have WaterDolphin, or Firebird, or Sunhawk.

Mozilla Powertiger for me. :) Firesomething rocks... on my sister's user account, I combined firesomething set to always display Microsoft Internet Explorer, with an IE theme, and then replaced all the IE links with links pointing to Firefox. She hasn't noticed yet.
