Advanced Popup Blocker

Stop aggressive pop-ups, pop-unders, and redirect scams for good.

This extension uses a powerful, multi-layer defense system to keep your browsing clean, fast, and safe:

Layer 1: Network Blocking Instantly blocks known pop-up, ad, and scam domains at the network level using declarativeNetRequest. This is the fastest defense, stopping threats before they even load.

Layer 2: Script Interception Neutralizes tricky overlays (like fake video "Play" buttons or "You've won" messages) that try to force open a new tab. It cleverly intercepts these window.open calls without breaking the website.

Layer 3: Redirect Chasing For the sneakiest pop-ups that slip through (like about:blank redirects), our event-driven background script monitors the new tab and closes it instantly if it redirects to a suspicious URL.

It's lightweight, privacy-first (it never reads your history), and gives you a simple On/Off switch. No complicated setup, just effective blocking.
