Unlike typical blockers, it uses a unique approach to ensure nearly all unwanted popups are stopped before they appear, maintaining a clean and distraction-free browsing experience.

Key features include a whitelist to allow popups from trusted domains, a toggle switch in the toolbar to easily enable or disable blocking, real-time badge icon updates showing the number of blocked popups, and customizable options to tailor its functionality to your preferences. Popup Blocker (Lite) is optimized for minimal CPU and memory usage, ensuring efficient and seamless browsing without slowdowns.

The extension also provides visual cues via toolbar icon color to indicate its status—green for whitelisted, red when blocking, and gray when disabled or on unsupported sites. Desktop notifications for blocked popups can be enabled for added awareness. With Popup Blocker (Lite), enjoy safer, faster, and cleaner browsing every day.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Popup Blocker (Lite) requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
