PopupTest.com A Site to test your popup killers on.

And btw using Mozilla is considered cheating.

Just kidding!

The only failure I got was on the OnMouseOver Popup test. Note to self: Don't wiggle the mouse back and forth a bunch of times really fast over things like these unless you want twenty popups in less than half a second...

EDIT: Standard Warning to IE Users: This site probably will crash your browser. Of course, a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of the planet is easily capable of doing that!! So make sure you finish anything else (email, SDnet posts, that really hella kewl starship you're building in Lightwave...) and assume that the computer may even BSOD due to the idiotic integrated nature of IE with the Windows OS.

Mozilla and Linux users, feel free to point and snicker now...

Hah, I used a freeware wrapper for IE called Avant Browser and passed the popup test with flying colors. Even the mouse-over one. And doesn't this belong in Games and Computing?

Heh, Mozilla rules. If I'm ever feeling masochistic, I might try this site using IE.

Have a very nice day.

I've got Stopzilla and I know it doesn't stop scroll overs.

I'm not guna try it because when my IE crashes, everything goes to hell.

My software is fairly lame, I guess.

Didn't crash my comp, though. XP Pro isn't real crashy.

I use IE, therefore I will refrain from trying. Although maybe just once... *thinks about Ein's butterfly comment, and how friggin' true it is; shivers*

No, definately not.

I just downloaded that Avant Browser, it's pretty good, better than AOL by FAR.

My browser failed every test. Of course, I use IE and dont have a popup stopper, so thats to be expected.

I tried the AOL browser which now has a pop-up blocker on it and it only failed a couple and they weren't really annoying ones.

IE6 SP1 + Google Toolbar 2.0 Beta succesfully blocked all but three less common ones (Dropdown, Floating, Sticky) and failed half of one common one (Come & Go, but only on the 'Come' part)

Mozilla Firebird Build 20030717 succesfully blocked all but two less common ones (Dropdown, Sticky) and failed one common one (Mouseover)
