| Pop-Up Zapper 2.63 | |
|
OS X 10.1+ |
| 5-day trial û latest update | |
Location on CD: software/mac/browse/popup_zapper/ | |
Pop-Up Zapper eliminates pop-up windows when you browse the Web. The program watches the activity of your Web browser and when it identifies a pop-up window, it closes it, faster than you could by hand. Pop-Up Zapper's counter on its Dock icon lets you see how hard it is working. The history can optionally be saved to a file. This update includes several improvements and fixes.
Note: requires MS Internet Explorer 5 or later to eliminate pop-ups, but the program can filter (graphics, animations, javascripts) in all browsers.
