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.

But people do reviews of tires also. Many make a good living out of it.

Just like testing how well a program blocks pop-ups is an important factor in determining which browser is more efficient.

:dontgetit:

Thankyou for your kind comment about my obviously un-operable brain. But I do rather well with it the way it is. :happy:

Drop down popup is the only one i see in real life, and boy is it annoying :(

Technically, it's a slide in popup though

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.

*Edit:

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

Which code are you using in your userContent.css? I took the one from the tips and tricks over at the firefox site, and it didn't do any good on the mouseover popup, although it did eliminate the drop down.
