Google Pop Up Stopper vs. XP

[Alias]

Will XP's pop up stopper get along with Google's? Or should one disable
Google's?

Thanks!

Why two??

There's no point in having two pop-up blockers on at the same time. If I
was you, I'd turn off Google's and use IE's. The reason why is because
Google's still can't stop some websites pop-ups from coming up (ActiveWin at
http://www.activewin.com is one) while IE's seems to stop all pop-ups.

OK, let me rephrase my question. I like Google's pop up blocker and I like
Mozilla's pop up blocker. Will XP have a hissy fit if I don't use XP's pop
up blocker?

Greetings --

I've not encountered any problems having both enabled
simultaneously, but I did notice that once SP2's pop-up blocker was
enabled, the Google blocker didn't seem to have anything to do. IE's
new blocker seems to be stopping everything first.

For now, I've turned of Google's blocker, just to reduce the
redundancy and to see how well IE handles things by itself.

I have tested both google and IE at several of the test sites. Neither
one blocks all possible pop up types. There are some pop up types wthat
both fail on, and others where one will work while the other fails, and
visa versa. Depends on the sites you visit what type of pop ups plague
you. I still use google's though for no real specific reason. Either
one is good.

I'm using Firebox, Google, XP and AdMuncher. No conflicts and no ads.

No it won't. It has an item in IE Tools to turn it off; and it is only
affecting IE anyway
