A fast, easy and secure way to block all unwanted popups and pop-unders!
Popup Blocker (Lite) is a browser extension to block all annoying pop-ups and pop-unders. When the addon detects a popup, it will block it immediately and the badge icon will show the blocked item (number will increase). If you want to see notifications about the blocked popup, please enable desktop notifications from the options page.
Some features:
a. Allows you to block all unwanted popups and pop-unders.
b. Has a built-in feature to whitelist the desired domain to show popups.
c. Works fundamentally different than other popup blockers, therefore it works in almost all cases.
d. Has a switch to turn the addon ON or OFF from toolbar popup UI.
e. Several settings in the options page to adjust the addon's functionality to your need.
f. Has badge icon text to show you the number of blocked popups.
g. Very lite addon with no significant CPU and memory usage.
When you first install the addon, some websites are added to the whitelist table by default (open the options page to see or edit the list). When a domain is whitelisted, the addon's toolbar button icon is green. When the addon is disabled or a website URL is invalid (i.e. chrome://) the icon is dark gray. In all other cases, the toolbar icon is red. So, while browsing with this addon, please be aware of the icon color to make sure it is set based on your desire.

- (2021-01-22) artur artur: it works poor and closes several of my tabs on its own !
- (2020-10-03) Sergey Rozhenko: Cons: Blocks every page you open with middle click. The option to prevent it doesn't work. Pros: I use it only on specific popup-infested site where it works well: In Extensions page go to extension properties and there select "On specific sites" under "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit"
- (2020-09-28) John Magdy (Zorono): most of the Tests at https://webbrowsertools.com/popup-blocker/ is success with running popups!!!! specifically that "new window" and "document.write"
- (2019-10-29) J: Me gusto es simple, pero lo mismo que el otro usuario, cuando doy clic derecho "abrir en nueva pestaña" lo cierra automáticamente en ese caso al ser voluntario no debería bloquear esa acción porque te obliga a desactivar la extensión en esa pagina.
- (2019-08-31) tiago l: This not perfect but very close to. I've been looking for a popup blocker for a long time and this is the only one that worked. Best choice.
- (2019-01-16) Tuấn Nguyễn Anh: Best choice.
- (2018-09-11) Puntuación: 4 bloquea practicamente todo, lo unico que no me gusta es que al dar clic derecho en abrir en nueva pestaña sobre un enlace y si das click en cualquier lugar que no sea esa pestaña, la pestaña esa se cerrara
- (2018-07-18) Ace: function "When I use mouse middle or right click, do NOT close popup" is not working

- (2017-07-15) SA CARTER: Has made it so chrome does not work!
- (2017-06-02) Andrian Andersen: Simple & to the Point.
- (2017-04-16) Remco van Egmond: * it blocks many popup/unders, not all.... i still need to use 2 blockers to stop them. * this blocker sometimes blocks open in new tab with middle mouse on non whitelisted sites. * some sites are shut down that were opened during an "off period" of the blocker. have to shut off the blocker again to reclaim these sites by right click on tabs then choose re-open last closed tab.
