Introduction
|
| The need for popup stopper utilities has fallen away in recent months as many browsers such as Firefox and IE7 now have this function built in. But in some cases you might still want to use a separate one. Here are a few that you can get for free. |

The product's author, Scott R. Lemmon, unfortunately has passed away but support for The Proxomitron continues through its large enthusiast following. This is evident from the main download site which offers several versions of the product including the last version Scott released before his death. The site also has setup instructions, resource links, and lists of sites where you can test whether the product is working.

well proxomitron shoulk be a must..unfortunetly tha author passed away.
there are some sites that offer support..but i found it very difficult .
if you installl the program by itself ,it will remove most ads,banners,flash..but you will have problems with others like enabling javascript,falsh videos.etc...
i prefer privoxy=is more flexible..
-another excellent option for opera-firefox and iron is fanboys;s adblock list.
I just installed Proxomitron and visited the Merriam-Webster website, which always gives me a pop-up ad for The Economist magazine. I still get the pop-up. Fail.
Try to give me a bit more info maybe we can correct the problem

Hi,
Does anyone know whether Poximotron works on Vista? Thx.
I am running it on Vista home prem. Will post here if any ERRORS show up,
Bob
Proxomitron is a superb popup stopper that works also as a proxy client.It blocks various types of useless stuff in web sites and make browsing much faster, especially if your using dialup to surf the internet.
one problem with google's tbs is that they add the kind of cr@p that proxo will (fortunately) remove. :-)
example:
http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=lang_en&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2...
minus the cr@p:
http://www.google.com/search?num=30&q=SEARCH-THIS
btw, proxo can add functions, not just defend against garbage.
