Popup Test

Popup Test is located at the bottom of the page, but let me explain the test first.

The popup test is an interactive popup test that will check the quality of your popup blocker.

Because the test opens different popup windows, it may be tempting to manually close them. Please allow the test time to close these windows on it's own (should only take a few seconds).

Some tests will require your input, so please be aware and follow the instructions in order to make the popup test as accurate as possible.

When the popup test is completed, your popup stopper will given a rating from 1 to 100. This score reflects your popup blockers ability to block pop ups.

Popup Test - Details

Normal popup test:

This test checks to see if your popup blocker can block normal popup windows, which are browser windows that do not have any toolbar, buttons or menus except for a simple titlebar. This test adds 20 points to your popup blocker quality score if this popup is blocked.

Full-screen popup test:

This checks your popup blocker's ability to block a special type of popup window. This window does not have any toolbars, button or menus and covers your entire screen. These are called "full-screen popups" are can only be seen with the Internet Explorer web browser. This test adds 10 points to your score if this popup is blocked.

Channel-opener popup test:

This type of popup launches a full-screen popup but contains a toolbar and can only be seen on the Internet Explorer. Other browsers will just open a normal popup. Adds 5 points to your popup test score.

Modeless dialog popup test:

This popup can only be launched in Internet Explorer and opens a dialog window, not a popup, that forces the user to close it in order to continue working on the web page that opened it. Adds 10 points to your popup test score.

Browser window popup test:

User-launched HREF-method popup test:

The term "user-launched" refers to popup windows that are opened manually by the user. This test checks to see if your browser allows a popup window to be opened from clicking a link. It may think it's a popup and block it. Adds 10 points to your popup test score.

User-launched JavaScript-method popup test:

User-launched OnClick-method popup test:

This test checks if your popup blocker allows popups that open when you click on a HTML object, which usually is a link. Popup windows are opened by detecting when you click on that object. Adds 10 points to your popup test score.
