I use Chrome. It blocks pop-ups by default. I never see any, just a little icon that one was blocked.

I often wonder how people made a living and sold their products without ads? When did ads become a nessessity in survival or retail? Now, I'm all for ads that the producer are willing to pay for out of pocket without consumers becoming a part of that, but, this added charge on things for them to have ads and websites is getting a bit overboard. I'll continue to use adblockers at every avenue I can. I use "adaware" from Cnet myself. Works great and the producer can have all those ads they want and it doesn't bother me a bit.

You can select from which domain you block scripts. Also you can reload the page with all the scripts enabled.
