| 2025-04-15 | Colby | | Works flawlessly and even has a lot of bonus features of what to do with popups if you don't want to just block them. You can put the pages they would open in the background, redirect your current tab to the link, and more. It is very helpful and far exceeds the core feature of blocking annoying popups. |

| 2025-03-05 | 21Palica | | Does a great job for it's size, it's very customizable, notification settings are excellent, it's easily understandable and I would recommend it to everyone (implying the user has basic knowledge to control a popup blocker). Thank you! |

| 2025-03-01 | Moanteq | | This is the best pop-up blocker on the add-on store. It's super light weight and blocks all pop-ups. |
