Is Google really blocking pop-ups?

Google Chrome includes a default pop-up blocker, but this basic filter is easily bypassed by dynamic advertising techniques and fails to protect against pop-ups triggered by legitimate clicks.

Robust, active protection by AdBlock Network

Chrome’s native blocker is limited to preventing basic JavaScript calls. AdBlock Network analyzes logical traffic signatures instead. Our extension performs asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to keep the firewall updated, enabling our Advanced layer to block any unsightly pop-up script.
