Strictly block all popup requests from any website
It is common for streaming, shopping, and WordPress sites to open unwanted pop-ups or redirect users to ad pages. This free, open-source Chrome extension blocks all types of popups and popunders before they are issued. It pauses window opening requests for user attention. Unlike other popup and ad blocker extensions, this one blocks requests on the original page rather than closing the target pages.
You will get badge count and optional page notification when a popup is blocked. A badge counter over the notification increments if more than one identical request is issued. For previously visited sites, the extension automatically allows or denies requests. It identifies the action based on your previous decision.

Supported Blocking Methods:
1. window.open()
2. a[target=_blank]
3. form[submit]
What does happen if I have this extension and a website tries to open a popup?
The extension blocks this request and displays a notification on the top right side of the page. Enjoy the browse distraction-free browsing. You can:
1. Deny the request
2. Allow the request
3. Open the request in a background tab
4. Redirect the current page to the requested source
Do I still need an AdBlock extension?
This extension does not block any network request or ads like adblock extensions. It is a single-purpose extension to protect you against popups and popunders. For a better browsing experience, use this extension along with uBlock Origin. Consider it as a complementary extension to reduce distractions and disturbances.
Does this extension support keyword shortcuts?
Yes, visit "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" to configure your custom shortcuts for opening the UI or denying the last action.
Can I ask the extension not to show page notifications when a popup is blocked?
You can open the toolbar interface and mute all notifications or notifications for a single page.

Notes:
1. This extension used to be called "Popup Blocker (ultimate)".
2. By placing your mouse over a notification, the counter stops counting so that the user can review the popup request.
3. By placing your mouse over a notification, you can get the full URL in the tooltip (when the full URL is not visible).
4. You can ignore page notifications for a site by adding the hostname to the whitelist (renamed to exception list).
5. This extension does not block overlay pop-ups like cookie messages.
6. It works offline. There are no server-side activities whatsoever

- (2023-11-03) Carl Jairy Padit: Best Popup Blocker other popup blocker is not even working So 5 Star
- (2023-10-28) Loonie Toons: Works great. Thanks.
- (2023-10-25) Daromir Firunsson: Works great, but there should be an option to blacklist a url-target. You can only whitelist/trust urls or mute the origin url of the popup. But not deny a specific target to prevent popups that link to that domain.
- (2023-10-24) Eric MK: Great extension. The best pop blocker. But knocking off 2 starts because the action dialog is too small with the new update. Can you please add an option to increase the size of it f
- (2023-10-24) ChromiaCat: Love it but could there be an option or straight up a revert to the previous design? I've gotten used to the allow button being the farthest right and now I end up pressing close because of this change.
- (2023-10-19) R R: É SENSACIONAL... Já uso o Strict há algum tempo e sempre funcionou perfeitamente. Um recurso que poderia existir é mais um botão no balão de popup "Sempre negar" para negar sempre o popup da página registrando ele nas configurações, semelhante ao botão "Confiar" que registra automaticamente nas configurações e sempre permite aquele popup daquela página.
- (2023-10-17) Dimitri D: The version 0.6.6 was excellent in addition except popups blocked redirections perfectly.The recent version blocks external links that I physically click in a page.For the version 0.6.6 I have given 5 stars for this version 3 stars.So I downgrade to version 0.6.6.
- (2023-10-02) Steven Parker: i love this extension but it seems that a while ago it also started blocking any external links that I physically click in a page. This is really annoying because links that i click myself are not a popup! it is a physical click on a link that I do but it is blocked. The external link only works if I disable "Enabled (this hostname)" so this actually has harmed productivity. I would appreciate it if this can be fixed or an option added to bypass the behavior.

- (2023-06-10) Lawrence Conti: I like it, it Works as intended. only one issue, on a page with pops up you get repeated notifications on the top right that just stack down the right side of screen non stop as many times as you click on the page. Its fine, better then having a new window pop open.
- (2023-05-30) Boise Computer Store: Doesn't work

- (2023-05-11) Krish P: This pop up blocker is amazing. It blocks all the annoying ads and pop ups that ruin your browsing experience. It is fast, reliable and easy to use. I have tried many other pop up blockers, but none of them can compare to this one. This is the single best pop up blocker and there is nothing better out there. I download it on all my laptops and I recommend it to everyone who wants a smooth and hassle-free internet surfing.
- (2023-04-25) Leonard L Church: downloaded not even 5 minutes ago and it already works great. I was having serious problems with a website riddled with pop-ups that I unfortunately needed to use and it completely solved it

- (2023-03-03) Albert911emt -: I use two PCs where this extention is installed.....Windows 10 and Windows 11, using up-to-date Chrome installed on both. So far, this extention works very well.
- (2023-02-19) Jason Doss: Awesome!! Rarely does something just work right out of the "Box". Thank you for writing this plugin!! Now sites like Etsy and Ebay won't make me crazy anymore!
- (2023-02-16) isotopo 1: Muy buena
- (2023-02-12) My Youtube: Lot of false negative reviews, don't mind those. If you're looking for a no-nonsense pop up blocker, this is it.
- (2023-02-09) Sezer Toker: Bende çalışıyor. Sağ üst köşede uyarıyor, yanlışlıkla "allow" dediyseniz bloklamayı bırakmış olabilir.
- (2023-01-30) Mark E: Lots of false positives, e.g. blocks when I click a link which results in a new page, such as following a link from gmail or from a chat window. Doesn't prevent "join my newsletter" type popups. Couldn't find an option for "just do it without asking me". Maybe I'll check this out again in the future.
- (2022-12-27) Tik. idrwi: Thanks to this popup blocker ,It is free ,and I am happy to see that developer build these tools to better experience of surfing ,otherwise surfing become frustating ,thanks to the engineers and devleoper that the idea of adding extension come to their mind.I use many extensions.
- (2022-12-22) Anthony goodmun: I've been using this extension for some time now and I'd say that my only complaint is that about 3 months ago the text in the pop up that appears in the corner of your screen every time a pop up is blocked has disappeared and i cant tell if I'm allowing trusting or denying a popup
- (2022-12-20) Jānis Ķengurs: Is it removing overlays? How to enable? Why its not doing, if can, enabled by default?
- (2022-12-19) Steph Crawford: Doesn't work, still getting just as many popups as before.
- (2022-12-04) silly mcsillies: I've been using this for a couple days and it's so helpful! I use 9Anime a lot since I don't have things like Netflix and for every click there's always so many popups. With this though, there's none! It's great and I really like it. I'd give it 5 stars but I just started using it. Edit: It's been 2 years now, and still does amazing. :) Finally getting the 5 stars it deserves!
- (2022-12-02) nikin the Roblox fans now: it did not work at all do not download if you are getting popups from capital one shopping
