Don't load pop ups until you want them!

Popup ViewShield is a free pop up blocker with unique features: it can either kill any pop up, or change its behavior from annoying to useful.

Old solutions limit your freedom, making hard to review unrequested pop ups from lists of skipped items. None help with requested pop ups: the more you open, the more have to be closed later.

How does it work?  If site tries to open an unrequested pop up, Popup ViewShield will keep it empty and minimized. If you are interested, click on the taskbar button, and pop up will be loaded and displayed.  Each pop up will automatically disappear when its parent site is closed or replaced, if you didn't ask to keep it open. For example:

1. Unrequested pop up starts loading its content only after the click on its taskbar button.	2. This pop up will be automatically closed when its parent site disappears, unless you press a pin button. Install ViewShield and test it yourself.

There are 4 basic protection levels, one per Shield Mode: Green (Low): allow all, but don't load until click on taskbar Blue (Medium): block only pop ups from different domains Red (High): block all unrequested, no full screen modes Black (Extreme): block all unrequested, more rules for others

Popup ViewShield offers complete control,  unique features:

Separately control pop ups of three types 1. Unrequested Opens without user input: when site is loaded, on timer, etc. 2. Requested, no interface Opens after click on the link; doesn't have any browser controls (address bar, "back" or "forward" buttons etc.). 3. Requested, with interface Opens after click on the link, or after "Shift+click", or after "Open in new window" request. Has at least some browser controls (address bar etc.) that make it useful longer.	Show when completed Automatically display any requested pop up after its content is loaded. Click the pin to keep visible, or move your cursor out to hide it again.
Block or defer unrequested pop ups Block all, or only pop ups from different domains: same-domain pop ups are often useful. Show taskbar button for each allowed pop up, but don't load or display its content until that taskbar button is selected.
Close pop ups when their parent disappears Automatically close pop up of any type when site that created it is replaced or closed. Optionally, postpone automatic closing until site in the opener's window changes domain. Close multiple pop ups with one key press, without waiting for their opener to change.
