How Google Bursts the Pop-Up Bubble
I’ve lived with popups for too long, methodically shutting down window after window, that it was time to take some action. I reviewed STOPzilla and was pretty pumped over this tool. (For a review of STOPzilla’s toolbar, which includes a pop-up blocker, click here; or read the head-to-head review here.) That’s until I talked to Keith Ward, our senior editor. Keith has had great luck with the Google toolbar, which can be configured to block popups, and it’s free. Why pay $20 a year for something Google gives for free? I had to find out.
