- Firefox still allows pop-ups from clicked links even after all these years.
- Firefox still doesn't allow blacklisting sites for pop-ups.
- Firefox still doesn't allow disabling pop-ups altogether.
- Greasemonkey scripts are not reliable. You have to find one from a trustworthy author, they become useless when the page code changes and they're often not updated, and things get really complicated when the site inserts elements after page load.
- Pop-up Blocker Settings allows toggling pop-up settings globally, and has been my go-to extension for some time. In Firefox 4 however, blocking all pop-ups also means blocking the file picker window that should appear when uploading a file. So it's quasi-useless now. Not to mention that toggling the settings back and forth was a chore to begin with.
- Inline HTML blocking has been considered for Adblock Plus, without any sort of conclusion.
- There's the Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon from another author, which I have so far not installed.
Is there something wrong with the approach used by Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon? Simply put, if that extension can do it, then why doesn't Adblock Plus block ads?
