Make sure you have one of the userscript managers installed in your browser. To do so, you need to perform two easy steps. But even then, you probably want to try the very latest version (which is currently 2.1.7). If you have AdGuard for Windows or AdGuard for Mac installed, you should already have the old version of Popup Blocker. This prevents any possible circumvention of Popup Blocker. Other scripts on the page can not detect that Popup Blocker is being used, other than by actually trying to open a pop-up. Self-explanatory but important: if a click would cause a pop-up to show, not only the pop-up is blocked, but also the initial click is processed as it would be without the pop-up. In other words, it allows to block pop-ups even on websites that try to bypass regular ad blockers by using WebRTC or varying the ad servers. This way, these APIs can only be called when caused by a manual input, and not by pop-up/pop-under scripts. Instead, it adds an additional layer on top of browser’s native APIs that are used to create pop-ups. Popup Blocker doesn’t apply the filtering rules approach to pop-up detection. Best news is that if you use AdGuard for Windows, the Popup Blocker will work in any browser, no exceptions. Exceptions are some of the oldest browsers that do not support the API we use, the script may not be fully functional there. Key advantagesĪdGuard Popup Blocker has been around forever, but what makes the new version stand out? Several things:īasically, it works in any browser that supports userscript managers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, IE10+ etc. Once you have a desktop version of AdGuard, it costs you literally nothing to have the Popup Blocker installed and enabled, but the benefits are tangible. Now, most websites you will visit don’t have any pop-ups, but even one random pop-up can completely ruin the impression of the website and even spoil the whole internet session. As you can probably realize from it’s name, Popup Blocker - ta da! - blocks all sorts of unwanted pop-ups. Let’s talk a bit about why do you need the Popup Blocker in the first place. We are happy to announce that the Popup Blocker has not only undergone a major redesign and overall improvement, but is now available as a standalone script that can be installed via any userscript manager. It is one of the pre-installed userscripts that enhance the AdGuard performance, alongside AdGuard Assistant, for example. Popup Blocker extension is already familiar to all of AdGuard for Windows and AdGuard for Mac users.
