Ok
I think u cant block POPUP's as this is the property of your browser not server , actually the senerio is like this

When ever u request for a web page then , the page as well as popup's associated with that page are automatically called..., so if u wana block POPUP's then u have to block the whole website which generate these popup's but again it is not a good solution :lol:

U can use pop-up blocker for that..., I have never used it but just search google for that...

well.. he is right but you can some work at server also, in squid we uses acls to block specifc urls which might be ads,
To block some ads in squid ie.. the url with words ads, also some movie , mp3 etc then

Code: [Select]

acl BlockExt url_regex -i \.mp3$ \.asx$ \.wma$ \.wmv$ \.avi$ \.mpeg$ \.mpg$ \.qt$ \.ram$ \.rm$ \.iso$ \.wav$ \.exe$ \.ads$ \.popup$
# the above is single line 
http_access deny BlockExt all

At browser level, in firefox there is a popup blocker , give it a try.
