All of us hate annoyed popup – they say hi to us when we come to a website and even still follow and tease us when we’ve already gone out that site. Most popup scripts are improved day by day and now they are really smarter and cunning. If you are a popup blocker developer or just want to test your popup blocking capability of your browser, you should visit PopupTest.com and try its test.

PopupTest.com provides a simple and independent source for popup window testing. All tests are separated into three major categories:

• Common popup techniques: like Multi-popup Test (this will launch 10 popup windows, using different techniques to test), Come & Go Test (this launches 2 popup when you enter, and an additional one when you leave)...
• Less common popup techniques: Full screen trap - which is absolutely Very nasty! In IE, this one opens full screen, and the only way out press Alt+F4 to close it or Drop down Popup - which drops into your face from the top of the page...
• High-tech popup and floating media: EyeBlaster, BlueLayerTangoZebra Overlays...

After testing your ability of your system to fight against nasty popup, you can also visit the page of suggested popup blocker softwares. Softwares included in that page are both in free and paid version. You should probably choose one and try to enhance the ability to block popup of your computer.

As for me, rather to install a software to block popup, I use Firefox 3 with NoScript add-on to block most unwanted script to run like ads, popups and tracking cookie adwares.

Remember that not all popups are bad... But some popup killers are not smart enough to recognize that! Here is my test for common browsers: Firefox (without noscript addon) failed one, IE failed three, Opera failed one, Chrome failed one.

You should also to update your browser to latest version, and even your email client to enhance the security of your computer.
