Where can I find software for IE 5.1.3 running on an iMac with OS 10.1.3 that will eliminate the annoying pop up/under ads that seem to have taken over the internet?
Or run a different browser that had preferences for pop up windows (I forget which has this).
Some of the advertisers have preferences for this but not all. That one for the camera the seemed to be everywhere last year had a preference where you could turn it off through a cookie setting...
iCab also does this, and it allows you to do it on a server-level. I.e., popups are generally enabled, with the exception of known offenders (MacCentral, anyone?). This is nice because some sites like CNN use popups to display poll results, etc.
Will block any/all of: cookies, popups, fast refreshes, ads/banners, urls, etc etc.
Combine this with mozilla, which will open new windows in tabs if configured correctly, and you can kiss all of the web's annoying traits goodbye.
I use this with a caching proxy (saves web pages/images, and grabs them from ram/cache instead of the web) to speed up my already fast web connection.
browser -> Junbuster -> Squid cache -> teh interweb.
My junkbuster config, which blocks ads from all sites I visit (including AI boards, theregister.co.uk, MOSR.com, etc) can be seen <a href="http://www.stimuli.ca/linux/ijb.action"; target="_blank">here.
iCab's been working great for me. Is IE 5.1.3 scriptable? If it is you could create an AppleScript to turn off java script when you run into offenders. Then create another to turn it back on. Just a thought...
