User reviews

PopUpOFF is praised for effectively blocking annoying pop-ups and cookie notifications, enhancing user privacy and browsing comfort, including support on mobile Firefox. However, multiple users report it can break or interfere with site layouts and essential functions on major websites like Netflix and news outlets. It also may slow down browsing and lacks an easy whitelist feature to exempt specific sites. Additionally, the uninstall process annoys some users with excessive feedback requests. Overall, it is valued but can be intrusive without granular control options.
Pros
  • Effectively blocks pop-ups, including annoying cookie consent and subscription prompts.
  • Works on Firefox mobile as well as desktop.
  • Helpful in reducing intrusive newsletter notifications and privacy-related pop-ups.
  • Provides multiple settings (Delicate, Moderate, Aggressive) to adjust blocking intensity.
  • Highly valued by users who want to clean browsing experience.
Cons
  • Interferes with the layout and functionality of some popular websites like Washington Post, NYTimes, IMDB, Reddit, and Netflix.
  • Sometimes blocks important pop-ups needed for shopping or site functionality, without an option to whitelist specific sites.
  • Can significantly slow down website loading, even on simple sites like Wikipedia.
  • Uninstalling triggers repeated requests for user feedback, which users find annoying and spammy.

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.

PopUpOFF requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PopUpOFF has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
