GET OPERA!!!!

Opera = no pop up
Opera = Better than IE

www.opera.com

Opera's good, but it has quite a sharp curve to learn. Like for example the controls. It's Ctrl-F4 to close a window, NOT Alt-F4, and to tab in-between windows it's Ctrl-Tab, not Alt-Tab. :rolleyes:

I remember being on a laptop and accidentally putting it in standby mode because I hit Fn-F4 instead of Ctrl-F4 :rolleyes:

I use it and have no pop-ups.
Here is the link to one.

hey, this one really works! and it's freeware, and has plenty of options to keep control-freaks like me happy

Many thanks Ville!

And here's the url of the (now blocked) telecom popup:

Hmmm, let's see, the log says it has blocked 46 of these little suckers whilst I've been surfing this evening :O

If you go to preferences in Opera and then mouse and keyboard, you can change all of the mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts.

I don't remember this being here before, so it might be a new feature in Opera 7.11.

Sometimes I get these (obviously unsuccessful pop up attempts):

(edit: of course while browsing the forum)

The powerade popup is really annoying.

There are a couple of versions - the 'agent smith' posted before and this one.

This is a sound clip playing (window media player my default).

Code:
