IE To Block Pop-Ups

    I'm so sick of hearing about Mozilla. Mozilla didn't invent the pop-up blocker either. I use IE with the Google Toolbar and before that I used Norton's pop-up blocker. I haven't seen a pop-up in two years. So what's the problem? I will agree that no matter what browser you use, if you don't know how to stop pop-ups then you're pretty much useless anyway.

    Anyone that's used Google Toolbar knows that shopping carts aren't broken by intelligent popup blocking, and I'm sure the same holds true for Mozilla and Opera. It's not hard to do.
