Built in popup blocker, let's see how could this affect our industry, there are tons of popup blockers around, but not all users know about them, since now all them will have it setup by default.

Yep, Console blocking is fully activated by default. You get a little bar at the top of any page that creates them informing you and you can choose to display them if you want - or totally block without being informed in the future.

Also Outlook Express won't display images any more by default so spammers can't detect active email addresses any more. Neither can email senders check whether you have read an email from them ;)

You also get the Windows Firewall for free - no need to buy any firewall products now - each time a program on your PC tries to use a port you are warned and can allow or ban it.

There's a lot more too!

Ive been running the beta version for several months and love it. No need for the google popup blocker anymore. Also, the windows fire wall is set to on by default. Other than that cant really tell a big dffference.
