[Shadowbladex]

passed em all!! :woot:

using myie2 and admuncher

[SintaX]

I passed them all except mouse over with Opera.

[SintaX]

IE + Google Toolbar isn't too wonderful, failed a few of them.. dolt.

[nXP_151 Veteran]

I am using Opera 7.51

All tests passed except for three:

Mouseover PopUp

Drop down Popup

Sticky popup

[b3ta]

So it's fair to say Firefox 0.9RC1 is pretty good at blocking popups! (Y)

Still, it just makes a little more sense to test a web browser with a pop-up blocker implemented in it than without one, considering what this test is. Google Toolbar will have to do for now until we get SP2.

Well what do you know, a web browser features a pop-up blocker and guess what it does? Blocks pop-ups. I have found the meaning of life.

Exactly the same results with Google toolbar and IE6.

Oh my, you found the meaning to your life? Popups? That's a worry. :dontgetit:

I was commenting that my testing of a prerelease RC build of a beta version of a browser seems to stop pop-ups better than most.

Twas sarcasm, and I think it's funny that you act like a browser with a pop-up blocker blocking popups is something to post about. That's like making a post about how well your car tires let your car roll across the earth, or how well your body can turn water into pee. Not impressive in the slightest to anyone with an operable brain.

Firefox (nearly 0.9RC) does well. I'm glad they fixed the mouseover interpretation problem.

What Firefox's default popup blocker can't catch, the userContent.css and Adblock Extension manage to mop up.

Dude, shut up. You made a thread about Firefox today. Do us all a favor and go play in heavy traffic.
