IE6 comes with a popup blocker. I have Google toolbar installed which
also has a popup blocker. Can anyone tell me which is the best to use
and why? Should we use both or would that be detrimental?

Thanks
Vic

IMO they are pretty much exactly the same, TBH. Only use one. Pick one and
stick with it.

Firefox with Adblock plug-in. You could also use this:

If you still want to use IE, then I would remove Google. The more
modules added to IE, the less likely IE will be "stable."

BTW: IE 7's pop-up blocker is a "bit" better than IE 6. Howvever the
newer phishing filter is bad. (it slows down IE too much.)

I really like Firefox with its popup blocker by default. It's been
working just fine for years. Displays webpages just fine, just blocks
the popups.
