Popup Blocker

Avant Browser Help - Popup Blocker

What is the Popup Blocker?

The popup blocker is a feature within Avant Browser that allows you to surf the internet, without having to worry about website's smothering you with popups.

Customizing the black list

The black list allows you to select which popups you would like Avant to automatically block

To add a new item to the black list, click Add, and enter the item you would like black listed.

The Exception List

Popups matching your exception list are NOT automatically blocked by Avant. This is especially handy for example, with the Private Messaging popups you see on forums.

Enabling the Popup Blocker

To enable the Popup Blocker, select the Tools menu, and click Block Unwanted Pop-up Pages.

This can also be enabled via the Tools > Avant Browser Options > Popup Blocker dialog

Display the URL of blocked popup windows

When enabled, this option will display a tooltip in the lower corner of the screen with the URL of each blocked popup window.
