Can you "stack" Pop-Up Blockers?

[Powerstroke2000]

I was just wondering, if you can have more than 1 or 2 Pop-Up Blockers on a single computer, in case one might catch a Pop-Up better than another?

This morning I had my first pop-up get past the more than one sources I have to stop them, and often one of them (which I paid for) usually always gives me an alert that a pop-up has been blocked.
This morning...it was the one that tells me my "clock" is wrong (which it wasn't) got past my blocker when I opened up Webshots main page.
I've noticed Webshots getting much slower these days, so I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but I thought I would ask here. All other sites come up just fine.

Thanks...

I don't see why you would need more than one good one. I use the one built into firefox, and never get a popup at all. If your software is letting popups through then it is not doing its job, if it was me I would start looking for something better.

Yes you can. On my work computer, I use both the pop-up blocker in the google toolbar for IE and panicware's pop-up stopper. From my experience, it seems that the google toolbar blocker is the first line of defense (I guess because it is more integrated into the browser than pop-up stopper but I don't really know). However, I do notice the pop up blocker icon flash from time to time leading me to believe that it is kicking in whenever the google toolbar blocker misses something. Although none of the pop-up blockers seem to be very resource intensive individually, if you start stacking up a half dozen or so it would seem reasonable to believe there may be some performance hit (purely conjecture on my part).

The need for a PopUp blocker/stopper has become somewhat OS dependent. For clients still running anything older that XP, I use PopUp Stopper from Panicware. It seems to do an adequate job. On XP machines running SP2, I've given up on pop up blockers and just depend on the native blocker installed with SP2. I like the fact that I can select certain sites to allow pop ups while restricting all others. That's only with IE of course.

Most good browsers have builtin popup blockers that will allow you to be selective about which sites to allow popups from .. like Firefox or IEw/SP2.
When selecting a popup blocker, try to get sthing that does some extra function .. rather than just gunk up your hard drive and RAM simply for blocking popups, and also be wary of whether the application is clean. Stuff that is built-in to your browser is the best because you don't have extra files, extra registry entries listed on your system.
