Same rating here. I wonder which popup software results in 100.

According to their main site, Firefox 0.9.0 scored 100%. The only one.
I got 85% too.

Using Firefox .92, the test stalled for me on OnClick-link popup opening method – nothing happened and I could go no further. But I will say that one test did allow a new tab to open, perhaps because of the TabBrowser extension I have installed (it’s been flaky anyway).

It hung on me in the same spot Mark, using the same Firefox. I relaunched from that same link, and it completed successfully. Got 100% !!

I’ll have to give that a shot later this evening, if time permits. As it stands, the computer I am on at the moment has larger issues than pop-up ads. It came down with a horrible virus called “McAfee” that has wrecked the current installation of Windows.

Mozilla 1.7.1 with PopupManager activated achieved 100%

Using MyIE2, I can’t even get to the site! Does that rate as 0% or 100%?

I don’t know about the rating, but I’m glad it’s YourIE2 and not Mine!

I don’t trust the site. I just tried it with Avant Browser, which I found was fairly effective at blocking pop-ups. It supposedly failed ALL the tests, although only 1 popped up. Something’s strange.
