Pop-up ad and image blocker software prevents pop-up ads and images from appearing in web browsers.
One of the best things about Pop-Up Zapper is its ability to filter out unwanted large graphics on any website. This feature of OS X can significantly speed up your internet connection, allowing you to browse websites with ease.
When it comes to handling popups, Pop-Up Zapper acts as a vigilant watchdog for your web browser (IE). Whenever it senses a pop-up window (or pop-under), it makes it invisible to you and promptly closes it. You may occasionally notice a window flash quickly before it gets zapped. However, Pop-Up Zapper's counter on its Dock icon assures you that it is working.
If you're looking for added flexibility, Pop-Up Zapper 2.0 even allows you to customize your filtering preferences to match your needs. You can tell the software to leave out flash animations, Javascripts, graphics larger than 4K, all graphics or any combination of those options. Better still, choosing to only load selected graphics can substantially enhance your browsing speed, particularly if you're using a modem connection. With the option key pressed down, all filtering can be switched off.
Overall, Pop-Up Zapper is the perfect solution to avoid pop-up windows interrupting your browsing experience. It works seamlessly with IE, Safari, Mail, and other web-related applications. If you're someone who likes to surf the web with minimal disturbance, this is undoubtedly the software for you.
