Re: Pop Up Banner Adds

[Arthur Othieno <arthurothieno@gmx.net>]

I do not know if other browsers support this, but with Mozilla you can 
successfully block almost all unwanted pop-up banner ads. I'l quote this 
from the mozilla faq 
(http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/faq/browser.html#2.4):

"2.4. I've heard about 'popup blocking'. How do I do this?
Go to Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Windows, and uncheck the 
powers you do not want to grant to web pages. Unchecking 'Open 
unrequested windows' blocks most unrequested popups."

Hope that helps
