Description

It is common for streaming, shopping, and WordPress sites to open unwanted pop-ups or redirect users to ad pages. This free, open-source Chrome extension blocks all types of popups and popunders before they are issued. It pauses window opening requests for user attention. Unlike other popup and ad blocker extensions, this one blocks requests on the original page rather than closing the target pages. You will get badge count and optional page notification when a popup is blocked. A badge counter over the notification increments if more than one identical request is issued. For previously visited sites, the extension automatically allows or denies requests. It identifies the action based on your previous decision. Usage Preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp-RaiTHzCQ Supported Blocking Methods: 1. window.open() 2. a[target=_blank] 3. form[submit] What does happen if I have this extension and a website tries to open a popup? The extension blocks this request and displays a notification on the top right side of the page. Enjoy the browse distraction-free browsing. You can: 1. Deny the request 2. Allow the request 3. Open the request in a background tab 4. Redirect the current page to the requested source Do I still need an AdBlock extension? This extension does not block any network request or ads like adblock extensions. It is a single-purpose extension to protect you against popups and popunders. For a better browsing experience, use this extension along with uBlock Origin. Consider it as a complementary extension to reduce distractions and disturbances. Does this extension support keyword shortcuts? Yes, visit "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" to configure your custom shortcuts for opening the UI or denying the last action. Can I ask the extension not to show page notifications when a popup is blocked? You can open the toolbar interface and mute all notifications or notifications for a single page. Useful Links: 1. FAQs page: https://webextension.org/listing/popup-blocker.html 2. Bug Reports: https://github.com/schomery/popup-blocker/issues 3. Test your blocker's efficiency: https://webbrowsertools.com/popup-blocker/ 4. Privacy Policy: https://add0n.com/policies/yokris.dev.txt Notes: 1. This extension used to be called "Popup Blocker (ultimate)". 2. By placing your mouse over a notification, the counter stops counting so that the user can review the popup request. 3. By placing your mouse over a notification, you can get the full URL in the tooltip (when the full URL is not visible). 4. You can ignore page notifications for a site by adding the hostname to the whitelist (renamed to exception list). 5. This extension does not block overlay pop-ups like cookie messages. 6. It works offline. There are no server-side activities whatsoever

This extension blocks pop-ups by CREATING A POP-UP. EVERY TIME. I'm trying to block pop-ups and you give me more pop-ups? Does it also rain upwards where the developers live?

DOES NOT WORK since last update. I got a lot of popup windows popping out all over the place. worked great but for last few days it fails to catch popups from https://kukaj.io/ whenever attempting to play the video. (got all sorts of redirects on fake worldoftanks, aliexpress, etc.) I hope it gets resolved soon.

this useless extension has the wrong idea of what a popup is. I am still bombarded with actual popups that aren't blocked and instead I can't click on any links without it asking me to trust the website. Uninstaling it

Block the site that it should not and then ignores allow and trust commands.

This is useless now ! I used to be able to choose my settings to deny popups & now that option only shows me a black screen so I can't choose anything ! This USED TO BE the best on the internet but not anymore & I am not impressed.Waste of time to try & add this now I will have to find something else Default action when a popup is requested _____ this option is blacked out & stuck on do nothing

Works great... now instead of closing popups I have to keep closing notifications from this extension.

Don't know when this behavior was introduced but why the hell does it block popup when it's not toggled? I thought this was simply toggling between allowing and not allowing popups? I never asked for an always on popup blocker. It's so annoying because certain sites like Office online for business can't open new documents because of this

Did not block new tabs from opening and being redirected in Chrome on this site: https://yts.lt/

This is totally useless. It does NOTHING at all. Have the people that created this "thing" even tested it on real webpages ? I doubt it very much. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, IT DOESN'T WORK....

There seem to be two free popup blockers on the Chrome Store, Poperblocker and this one. Everyone loves Poperblocker, except me, it seems, since I am apparently the only person in the world who still has her pages littered with pop-ups after installing it. So, I gave it an appropriate rating, and tried this one. Again, I seem to be the only person in the world for whom pop-up blockers do not work for. I'd give it a higher rating if it blocked even one pop-up, but its performance is indistinguishable from poperblocker which behaves just like having as much spyware as a browser can handle. This is not to say that either are spyware, but that they are about as effective blocking pop-ups as spyware that causes pop-ups and redirects.

Doesn't prevent window.window events from onclick mouse events. All it does it stop ads from popuping on window.onload events. Devs you need to step up your game. Best example I can find is fmovies.pe websites. Check the script in embedded in the site, it sits and activates with the load of the page or during the movie you watch then when you try to click anywhere on the page it opens a popup window you can't stop. Your popup blocker does nothing to stop this type of redirect popup.

Causes lock ups when trying to open search results, If viewing a gallery it gets slower and slower until it is unbearable. Sorry didn't work for me. Dell 6420 Intel I5 dual core processor 8 Gig memory. Uninstalled and problem went away..

apparantly, this pop up blocker was itself compromised and google prompted me to repair it the repair didnt work so i removed it

It used to work very well. Now the pop ups just redirect to the same page which is more annoying than them opening in the first place. Please fix this.
