I thought this was interesting. I'll try it when I get home tonight.

Post you results and any popup blocker software you use.

Nice. Firefox blocked all but two with only the Adblock extension.

The Dropdown and Sticky were the only ones to get by on my system.

Just the floating, sticky, and dropdown here.

IE only, no added pop up blocker.

I don't think I've seen a real pop-up in forever on a website. What I see occasionally these days are the Pop unders....

Here at work using my IE6 the following poped up and worked

Floating popup
Dropdown
Floating Banner
Eye Blaster

I got a TPC error (network busy) with the Tangozebra Overlays so not sure if it worked or not.

all others were blocked by the IE popup blocker

I use IE 6.0 with Ad Muncher v4.7 and Zone Alarm.

The only popup that got through was the mouseover ones. Interesting. I think I'll send Ad Muncher a note about that.

Thanks for the link.

Edited to include Ad Muncher's response to my query...

I wrote to Ad Muncher:
I recently went to the http://popuptest.comwebsite and tried out their popup tests. Ad Muncher did a great job of blocking everything* they could throw at it except for the mouseover popups. I thought you might want to check it out to see why it doesn't block them.
I'm using IE 6.0, Zone Alarm and Ad Muncher v4.7 Build 23669/1334 *BETA*
Thanks for a great product.

Ad Muncher answered:
Hello Patti,

It worked before but it's just a bug now.

It's fixed in the internal beta.

Sincerely,

...but...but...if you block your pop-ups, how will you ever learn about all those other porn sites that you DIDN'T know about?

[ndsimm]

Google toolbar and IE6 and no pop ups.....

Tested mine last night & received the exact same results.

SBC-Yahoo killed some, but the floating, modeless, drop-down, floating banner, chromeless and sticky got through.
