Block all pop-ups, even thepiratebay.org, in Google Chrome using AdBlock

Update:
The objective can be achieved simply by using 3 Firefox Add-ons:
1. Adblock Plus
2. Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon
3. Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus

Enjoy your ad-free (at least to some extent) life.

=========================================================

Here's how to do it:

• Install AdBlock extension in Google Chrome.

• Go to AdBlock options and make sure you have ad filters enabled. 

• For added protection you can also subscribe to Fanboy's AdBlock Filters. Clicking on "Add Fanboy Adblock list to Firefox" works also in Chrome.

• Now, go to the website in question and wait for the pop-up. Sometimes a pop-up is triggered by some action on the website, such as- clicking on certain area.

• Assuming the dreaded pop-up is looking you in the face, copy the web address (URL) from the pop-up.

• Go to AdBlock options > Customize tab > Block an ad by its URL

• Paste the pop-up's URL in the appropriate field. Click the "Block It" button.

That should do it. Enjoy your pop-up-free website.

FoxGLove is Firefox for Google addicts

You would think that Google Chrome would be the perfect web browser for people who spend most of their day using Google applications like Gmail, Google Calendar, and GTalk. But Chrome lacks some of the features that draw many people to browsers like Firefox. So one Firefox user who uses a ton of Google services decided to mash the two together and create an alternate browser he calls FoxGLove, which you can download from Lifehacker.

The browser is based on the portable version of Firefox, which means you can run it without messing up your normal Firefox settings. You can also run it from a USB flash drive. At first glance, the browser looks a lot like Google Chrome, thanks to the ChromiFox theme. The home pages have been set to Gmail, Google Reader, and Google Docs, and there are bookmarklets that will open GTalk, Google Calendar, or Google Notes in your sidebar. But that's just the start.

FoxGLove also comes preloaded with a ton of Firefox addons that provide enhancements for Google applications. It also replaces the Firefox search bar with the Google Toolbar. And the developer even figured out how to make Google Gears portable so you can have online/offline access to web pages and applications that support Gears.
