I have just "Switched" over from PC to Mac.

Now that the applause has subsided, I have a question. On my old PC, I had a great little program called "AdSubtract," which (a) stopped 100% of PopUp ads, and (b) filtered banner ads out of websites. Does such a thing exist for the Mac, either as a standalone product, or as an option within IE 5.2, NS 7, or Mozilla?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mozilla has a feature that stops pop-up windows (as well as "pop-under" windows). I'm using Mozilla 1.1 and it works well. For banner ads, however, you'll have to disable image loading.

Congrats on switching! images/icons/smile.gif
