User Reviews

Users broadly praise PopUpOFF as a highly effective popup blocker for desktop and mobile Firefox, capable of removing paywalls, cookie prompts, and clutter. Many appreciate adjustable blocking modes (aggressive/strict) that solve stubborn popups. However, several reviews note reliability varies by site, with some popups still getting through or layouts breaking, and a few instances of unexpected popups after install. Performance can slow some pages. A per-site exception feature is commonly requested. Overall, it's regarded as one of the best popup blockers with some usability trade-offs.

Pros

Highly effective blocker of pop-ups, ads, paywalls, and newsletter prompts, reducing clutter and improving readability.
Cleans up websites, making browsing more pleasant by removing intrusive elements.
Works on both Firefox desktop and Firefox Mobile (cross-platform).
Offers blocking modes (aggressive/strict) to tailor behavior and resolve stubborn popups.
Generally well-regarded with positive sentiment toward the developer.

Cons

Can break website layouts or hide content, affecting usability on some sites.
Not consistently reliable on all sites; some popups still appear or certain pages aren’t fully blocked.
Can slow down websites, affecting performance on some pages.
Lacks per-site exception controls, making it hard to whitelist trusted sites without disabling protections.
Occasional unexpected popup may appear after installation.

Is PopUpOFF Safe?

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 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 Add-ons Store, 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 good reputation and can be trusted.
