    Default pop-up blockers??

    Does anyone have one of these ? Does it work? Is it worth downloading?

    There's a freebie at http://toolbar.msn.com/ just wondered if they worked..??

    I used the Earthlink one for a while. It prevents Geocities from loading and also my online banking so I don't use it much. It blocks the pop-ups though.

    I installed the Google Toolbar 9 days ago and it has blocked 274 sites already!! It really does work, too well in fact. I was doing an instant win game and it blocked the pop-up that announced me a winner! I do like it alot. Not only is it a pop-up blocker, but it has a search box, a button to Auto Fill forms and much more. Here is the link to check it out:

    I'm another who has the google blocker taskbar and have had it for awhile now and I'm at 811 blocked and counting, its been so nice not having any pop ups. I also like the fact that in one click it does allow you to receive pop up in the particular site you are on.
