Popup blocker CheckIT86
Greetings.
I have a popup blocker on my WinMe that seems to do an excellent job in blocking. So much that some of it I don't see what it's blocking when I go through the websites again with it disabled. This makes me wonder; Are there websites that are able to send invisible popups, and if so, what would be the benefit for them? Kevin |

General Mailbox had this to say: Greetings. I have a popup blocker on my WinMe that seems to do an excellent job in blocking. So much that some of it I don't see what it's blocking when I go through the websites again with it disabled. This makes me wonder; Are there websites that are able to send invisible popups, and if so, what would be the benefit for them? Kevin Point your browser in this direction: http://www.auditmypc.com/freescan/popup_blocker.asp That will not only test your popup blocker (so you can find out how well it really does against all the various types of them -- and there are quite a few different ways to make them) but it will also tell you about the various types of pupups that are known about at this point in time. I'm sure that eventually they'll find new and interesting ways of making them. The first test will even give you a score based on your performance. Here's another one but they don't explain it very well. http://www.popupcheck.com/popup_test.asp I turned on scripting and my popup blocker failed two of them. Considering that I've been using the same one forever and a day I'm not surprised. I should probably update it, it's free. Without scripting enabled I didn't even get to load the pages that had them on there so I guess I don't really ever actually see too many. Hope that helps Mr. Mailbox Galen -- "My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation." -- Sherlock Holmes |
