I've forgotten what unwanted "pop-ups" are. I've used 'alternate browsers' for years. I have three on my Win98 system at the moment. All work on the MDI (Multi Document Interface) principle. Instead of yet another damned window appearing, a new "Tab" appears in a row along the top of your screen. You can have untold websites open at one time, yet keep track of them as easily as looking at the Tabs in an Index Book. They also Block Popups

Rather than me trying to explain, Go To:

MyIE2 Website - Work your way through the Tour. It's 'Freeware', and I'm sure you'll like it. MyIE2 requires Internet Explorer to be installed on your system.

Mozilla - Is 'Open Platform' and has been around for yonks. I think some of the original Netscape Team were the originators. As far as I can make out from the current Netscape shambles, they are picking up the pieces. There are versions for Linux, Windows and MacOS X. Alas the 'Nurds' of the Mozilla site are 'developers', who assume you are computer literate. The site can be a tad hard to navigate. Win-Users - Check "Firebird"

SimulBrowse - Was the original "Intelligent Browser", produced by Adam Stiles ca 1998. I gave some input into the development there-of. Adam has changed the name to NetCaptor, and is asking US$30 for his work. It's fair enough.

Ummm... - Thread creep - We're supposed to be talking "Pop-Ups". They are only a tiny part of the browsers above...

Mumble, mumble... Must start a browser thread.
