Popup Blocker (strict)

Strictly block all popup requests from any website

What is Popup Blocker (strict)?

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.

Summary

Analyze keywords

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.
