Awesome.

But it said I got a 35, but all of them were blocked.

Google Toolbar got 85. Not bad. That was about my average in high school, so I'm OK with that.

Yeah, 85 with my Google Toolbar, but that was missing 2 popups. The first was...

QUOTE
Modeless dialog blocking = Failed


There was a popup, but it closed as soon as it opened.

The second was...

QUOTE
User-launched Delayed-method popup allowing = Failed


Also, no popup there either.


I've messed with Mozilla a bit, but I don't know if I like it.

Vulcanwolf, what are you using for a browser? Some program you have installed, I guarantee you, has a popupblocker that it installed with it. Give us a list of what you've got installed.

internet explorer and i haven't installed any popup blockers or toolbars cause i hate those. If i was looking for a program that was like IE and wanted extra functionality i would use MyIE. That is a nice browser. I gtg, going to buy my White 17" Motegi RT5 wheels.
