    Pop-up blockers? How popular are they ?

    What's the % of surfers who surf the web with pop up blockers?
    Anyone has an idea?
    I don't use ICQ anymore.

    All Mozilla Firebird users have them , Google toolbar is pretty popular also

    By the end of the year i would say 30-40% of surfers will have one

          It doesn't come like that default, you have to activate it.

            Sooner or later everyone is going to have them. IE will probably have a popup blocker feature in one of it's future iterations.

                  I think with how annoying popups are getting it's probably a pretty high % now. My blocker has blocked 1709 already.

                        I thought I read some time ago already 60% uses popup blockers... the issue is that it is becoming more "usual" in new software so ppl have access to them easier.

                          My pop up blocker has blocked about 1400 ads and i've only had it a few months...makes you wonder how many of those daft things are littered around the web eating up bandwidth!

                              if somebody has a pop up blocker chances are they would have never clicked a pop up anyway

                                      I would say more then that.

                                        I'm curious if you guys have ever used a popup on your site? I use one or two on exit and I get *alot* of signups of my first exit and lots of click outs on my second wich is my link page... I think it's a matter how the popups are used.
                                        Also, "Pop-ups are 13 times more effective than banner ads that run the length of a page, according to research from Advertising.com published earlier this year." That statement has been proven to me over and over. You read more here: http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-5110...?tag=nefd_lede

                                        Just my 2 popups errrr cents

                                          Its a popup world these days ... and it kills my system every time

                                            A popup kills your system?? You don't need a popup blocker - you need a new system!

                                            As for the question how many popup blockers there are, this is what I found: "Mark Ryan, a senior analyst at Jupiter Research, estimates that as many as 20 percent of Web surfers have installed anti-pop-up software, and that the number will be as high as 25 percent by the end of the year 2003" lol

                                                I read in one newspaper that around 23% have anti-pop software.
