    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Google Toolbar for IE

    If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer, then you know how frustrating pop-ups can be. With Google's own "Google Toolbar" you can block pop-ups. This free tool can be downloaded directly from Google, ensuring that it is safe. According to SupportCave.com, the Google toolbar is easy to use and effective against most pop-up windows.

    On the Other: Firefox Web Browser

    Firefox is a popular web browser released by Mozilla. Unlike other web browsers, Firefox has a built-in pop-up blocker that, along with the other automatic security features, allow for safer web surfing. For even more protection, Firefox has more than 600 plug-ins (extensions) specifically designed to enhance security.

    Bottom Line

    While the Google Toolbar is an effective way to stop pop-ups, this feature only works in Internet Explorer. Firefox is a fast, responsive and stable web browser with enough integrated security features for you to rarely, if ever, see another pop-up. Plus, with the available plug-ins offering even more security, the Firefox web browser itself is the best free pop-up blocker.
