Keep ads away, Sweep Away Popups

The install program wizard takes about two minutes, a few mouse clicks, and you're done.

It adds three small buttons and a slider to your browser toolbar.

Use its advanced features if you like, but most users are happy without them.

PopUpCop just works. Popups and other web annoyances are silently suppressed.

When the green button turns red, hover your mouse on it or click it to find out what was suppressed. It turns yellow when it detects but doesn't suppress (according to the options you've chosen) something that might be considered annoying. As above, hover or click to find out what it was.

Click the PopUpCop badge to get its menu and choose "Show Me Recently Suppressed PopUps".

You can shrink it further, if you like. Get rid of its slider and its title by making a couple of menu selections.

The software uses few CPU cycles and little disk space.

Many buttons are available. Choose the ones that control browser features you use frequently, for example clearing your browser cache or examining cookies.

Yes! In particular, some banking and investment sites -- sites you trust! -- use popups for legitimate purposes. Choose "Allow Popups from this Site" in PopUpCop's menu and enter the site name(s) in the Allow List. It takes just seconds to do.

We can't imagine why anyone would, but just in case, we made it easy. Choose "Disable PopUpCop" from its menu and you're done.
