"Lately, however, the operators of the Google search engine have added a really fine pop-up stopper to the Google toolbar. The toolbar (www.toolbar.google.com) works as a plug-in to the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser and not only stops pop-ups, but also counts them and reports numbers killed. Happily, when you decide you want to accept pop-ups from some outfit, you can hold down the Shift key while clicking on the address. Some Web sites use pop-ups to do stuff like display stock prices, show times and sales items, so this option is quite handy."

Funny, when I opened the page, my Google Toolbar saved me from yet another pop-up.

Wonder when MS will add an Adwords killer to their browsers.
