Review Summary

Popup Blocker (strict) is widely praised for its effective and reliable pop-up blocking capabilities, simplicity, and free accessibility. Users appreciate its ability to block most pop-ups and manage filters easily. However, some report that it can generate pop-ups or redirect tabs unexpectedly, and has compatibility issues with bot detection systems. Optimizing settings enhances performance. Overall, it stands out as a strong solution among popup blockers for Chrome users.

Pros

  • Effectively blocks pop-ups and pop-up ads, improving browsing experience.
  • Lightweight and minimalistic, easy to use without unnecessary complexity.
  • Allows managing blocked pop-ups, including removing allowed sites from filters.
  • Performs better than many other popup blockers according to user comparisons.
  • Free to use and reliable in its functionality.

Cons

  • Some users report issues with the extension causing pop-ups itself or improper blocking behavior.
  • Compatibility problems with certain sites, including bot detection systems like ReCaptcha and Cloudflare.
  • Occasional redirect issues where original tabs are redirected unexpectedly.
  • May require users to adjust settings (e.g., "Don't block popup requests from same origin") for optimal performance.
