## Description

PopupFilter is a lightweight and efficient browser extension developed using the WebExtensions API, compatible with Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. It prevents unexpected popups opened by website links or scripts, enhancing your browsing experience and privacy.

The extension offers three operating modes: Normal (allow all popups), Confirm (prompt before opening new tabs/windows), and Blocking (block all popups from links and scripts). Unlike many popup blockers, PopupFilter functions without blacklists or whitelists and does not collect browsing history or personal data, ensuring your privacy remains intact.

Additionally, PopupFilter's settings page provides a comprehensive overview of opened, confirmed, and blocked tabs, with quick actions like closing tabs, restoring blocked content, or navigating directly to specific tabs. Supported languages include English, French, Italian, and Spanish, making it accessible to a broad user base.
