      I know that Google Chrome blocks all pop-ups by default. Firefox blocks all when the exceptions on "about:config dom.popup_allowed_events" are delete. What about Opera? Can it block everything without addons?

        @shffx Opera has a built-in pop-up blocker. Blocking pop-ups, however, may not be something that simple.

          Opera has "Do not allow any site to show pop-ups (recommended)" set by default. That blocks all automatic pop-ups. If you click on a link to trigger a pop-up, that's allowed. Chrome works the same way.

          Are there any pop-ups that get through in Opera but not in Chrome on http://www.popuptest.com?

            @leocg On Firefox it seems very simple. If I have no exceptions on "about:config dom.popup_allowed_events", when I go to https://www.duolingo.com/ and click "Sign in with Google", the window "https://accounts.google.com/signin/..." is blocked. Chrome and Opera let it open.

              With this extension, you can download Chrome extensions. I'd take a look at some of Chrome's pop-up blocker extensions. There are a few. Here's one that might work. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/popup-blocker-strict/aefkmifgmaafnojlojpnekbpbmjiiogg?hl=en.

                @burnout426 works like a charme. i've been using it for months.

                You think you know, but you have no idea.
