Although pop-ups and other ads help pay for free sites like Yahoo, they are a bother to us all. Block ALL pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, and other ads FOREVER with add-ons for any site and any browser. It's fast and easy to do. (You'll never miss those ads!)
First, enable the pop-up blocker for your browser, The exact method is different in each browser, but it is Tools > Internet Options > Privacy in IE, Tools > Options > Content in Firefox, and under the wrench (gear) in Chrome. (You might need to change this setting if it controls certain programs - you would get an on-screen notice.)
Add-ons for different browsers:(for Windows users:)
For Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera

For Firefox, install 'AdBlock Plus' and/or AdBan(for low-end computers):

(Also consider Flashblock and NoScript for more blocking and security as well as speed. These can be turned on for individual sites, or just temporarily.)
