User reviews

Users generally find the Popup Blocker effective in stopping many unwanted pop-ups and auto-redirects, appreciating the ability to whitelist sites. However, several mention issues with the UI where buttons to allow or trust pop-ups are missing or clipped, especially with long URLs, causing frustration. Reports of poor language and occasional failure to block all pop-ups reduce trust. Despite some flaws, many recommend it for improving browsing by controlling intrusive pop-ups.

Pros

Effectively blocks pop-ups and auto-redirects.
Allows users to whitelist sites or turn blocking off as needed.
Works well on various platforms and screen sizes for most users.
Helps improve browsing experience by preventing unwanted ads and pop-ups.
Simple to use and gives users control over pop-ups.

Cons

Buttons like 'Allow' or 'Trust' often don't show for long links or certain pop-ups, making it impossible to whitelist or allow them.
The interface window for managing pop-ups is sometimes clipped or cut off, especially with longer links or some screen resolutions.
Some users report poor English language and unprofessional presentation, raising trust concerns.
The add-on occasionally shows a warning window without giving the option to block or allow, limiting usability.
Does not block all pop-ups effectively for everyone; some users report it failing entirely.

This program is terrible, it stops nothing from popping up. If I had to pay for this program I would be insisting on my cash back. Don't download this program!
