Test Your Pop-up Blocker

[pedantic]

I found this interesting test via dslreports forums. It tests how efficient your browsers pop-up blocker is. I use Opera, see how yours performs.

As instructed on the website, the most difficult tests are in Bold.

11) Passed
12) Failed
13) Passed *
16) Did not complete (displayed a blank page for some unknown reason)
17) Passed
21) Failed (received an "add bookmark" pop-up)
22) Failed (received a "download file" pop-up)
25) Passed *
26) Passed
27) Passed

All the other tests passed successfully.


* I use a script blocker, used to block ads that use a script to launch them. Works well, but can also block some content on websites.



See how well yours does, it will be interesting to see which browsers built in pop-up blockers perform the best.

It failed the Java pop-up and the media player pop-up. Not bad for Opera 9's "Block unwanted popups" which is built in

16 blank white page
21 failed, got bookmark window.
22 failed, got download file option to open or save file.

Maybe with a few tweaks of opera and admuncher things could be more secure?

EDIT: But then again, I have the final say of whether I want to add the bookmark or download the media file. Which I wouldnt do if this popped up at random.
