Does a great job for it's size, it's very customizable, notification settings are excellent, it's easily understandable and I would recommend it to everyone (implying the user has basic knowledge to control a popup blocker). Thank you!

This is the best pop-up blocker on the add-on store. It's super light weight and blocks all pop-ups.
