Popup Blocker (strict)

Strictly block all popup requests from any website
Popup Blocker (strict) is an open-source Chrome extension that helps users prevent unwanted pop-ups and popunders on a variety of sites such as streaming, shopping, and WordPress. The extension halts window opening requests and offers the opportunity to allow or deny these. Distinct from standard ad-blockers, this extension operates on the original page instead of closing the target pages. While it does not block network requests or advertisements, it can be paired with such tools for an enhanced, seamless browsing experience.
