Nice. I never trust popup blockers though. Like firewalls they play hell with popups you want too. Easier for me just to close the popups I get. Right now the only places I find heavy popups are warez and :banana::banana::banana::banana: sites. I can buy :banana::banana::banana::banana:, so I dont have to deal with the search all the teens must put up with. And warez? I download a nocd hack once in a blue moon and I'm quick enough to kill the popup chains before they start. If you surf for :banana::banana::banana::banana: or warez alot and don't like downloading shareware blockers however... this is good for you I suppose. And probably soon it will be needed for even myself.
The irony? I get 90% of my popups from MSN. They kick up 2 or 3 everytime I use their chat program. And I think even msn.com has a popup now.

I have a buddy who swears by opera. Says it's much faster than IE. Of course he only uses opera when hes explaining how great it is. Then he's right back on IE. What is so great about it?

Indeed, Mozilla Firebird kills Opera. I mean Opera is nice, but firebird is just as good or better without the ads. Also new features are always being added. Open source rocks.

yep firebird all the way. I like the sparse use of resources especially on my little old laptop.
