Stop Pop-Up Ads from Appearing in Your Browser


Task #79

Difficulty Level 3

As the Web has grown, businesses have found it harder and harder to grab your attention. To keep your eyes focused on their products, businesses have resorted to all sorts of tricks. Some of these include dirty tricks such as pop-up windows.

After you surf through a couple of Web pages with this “feature,” it feels like you are being bombarded with advertisements.

Safari has a great feature to help you out — the Block Pop-Up Windows option. With this option, you can block those pesky pop-up windows from ever appearing. The pop-up windows will disappear from your Web browsing landscape, leaving you with a clean appearance and a thankful wrist. Curiously, Safari has this feature set to off by default.
