PopUpCop Description From the Developer: PopUpCop is designed to return control of your browsing
experience back to you. It does not block all advertisements: it blocks
irritating Web site behavior, which is often used for advertisements.
Like the ideal of a real police officer, it steps into a volatile
situation and uses just enough force to restore calm.
Because there are millions of very different people using the Web,
and because each may have a different irritation threshold, PopUpCop
is completely customizable. A PopUpCop user can choose what techniques
and technologies to block, from blocking nothing to turning off images,
Java applets, ActiveX controls, JavaScript, and 15 other potentially
annoying techniques. Users also may want to change what to block depending
on where they are browsing. To make all this flexibility easy to control,
PopUpCop features two key control mechanisms: the Internet irritation
indicator and the Internet irritation level slider. These two controls
work together to provide information about the techniques that a web
site is using and to make it easy for the user to block a collection
of techniques.
PopUpCop does not use site title or URL address matching to determining
what to block. It monitors your interaction with the browser, and
determines what new windows to block based on a simple collection
of rules. It never interferes with normal browsing and will never
close the main browser window. If you just want to block popups, you
can just install the program and forget it.
PopUpCop is packaged as an Internet Explorer toolbar add-in. After
installation, it occupies a small space on the user's toolbar. It
safely co-exists with other toolbar add-ins, like the Google toolbar.
PopUpCop Features:
PopUpCop is easy to install.
The install program wizard takes about two minutes, a few mouse
clicks, and you're done.
PopUpCop runs as part of your browser.
It adds three small buttons and a slider to your browser toolbar.
The default settings are just right for most people.
Use its advanced features if you like, but most users are happy
without them.
Unobtrusive operation.
PopUpCop just works. Popups and other web annoyances are silently
suppressed.
PopUpCop tells you what annoyances it has suppressed.
Change your mind? Want the suppressed popup after all?
Click the PopUpCop badge to get its menu and choose "Show Me
Recently Suppressed PopUps".
PopUpCop consumes little screen real estate.
You can shrink it further, if you like. Get rid of its slider and
its title by making a couple of menu selections.
PopUpCop consumes little of your computer's other resources,
too.
The software uses few CPU cycles and little disk space.
PopUpCop makes readily accessible Internet Explorer features
that are buried deep in its "Options" dialogs.
Many buttons are available. Choose the ones that control browser
features you use frequently, for example clearing your browser cache
or examining cookies.
I hate popups but there are a few sites where I need them. Can
I selectively un-suppress them?
Yes! In particular, some banking and investment sites -- sites you
trust! -- use popups for legitimate purposes. Choose "Allow
Popups from this Site" in PopUpCop's menu and enter the site
name(s) in the Allow List. It takes just seconds to do.
Want to go back to the "bad old days" without PopUpCop?
We can't imagine why anyone would, but just in case, we made it
easy. Choose "Disable PopUpCop" from its menu and you're
done.
