Safari has a nice pop-up blocker (I'm on a mac), but Firefox's is still better.

It is the browser that blocks pop-ups, not the OS.

Get Avast anti-virus. The domestic version is free, it updates and is just as effective as the paid-for anti-virus programs, and I've had far more success with it than Norton which came with my pc on a 30-day trial made me have to reformat my hard-drive on my latest pc after only a few days of use of it.

I just found a great ad-blocker for Safari so I'm back on it. Bye firefox!

I like Safari PURELY because it's faster because it's optimised for OS X. If they speed up Firefox I will always go back to it. It's a great browser.

games don't bring pop-ups...



...porn does.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

We're talking about internet pop-ups, not your pet name for erections.

for some reason all the font sizes on my Firefox were all over the place, and I couldn't be bothered fixing it. After a few months I noticed it had half fixed itself confused

Look, I was trying to make him look innocent. But now you've exposed him to his small children and elderly Grandmother to look like a pervert.

I hope you're happy!
