Get Mozilla and ditch IE, it lets you turn them off and leave javascript on.

I like to use Ad-Subtract Pro (yes, you gotta pay for the pro). It kills popups, ads, animations, background music, auto refresh, and background images. If you need certain items on a site, you can enter that site, tell Ad-Subtract what is allowed, and no problem having something killed where you actually need it.

Because of this thread i just got both POW and pop up stopper. I like PUS better, and am now using it.
