I already block popups. Match.com keeps on showing up and I don't want it.

Chosen solution

  • Empty your cache and clear out all cookies that you don't need.
  • Then install the NoScript extension. (Follow the directions for training the extension to only run scripts on sites you want. If there are sites you use that have annoying behaviors, turn off their ability to run scripts until you go use the site, then turn them off again when you leave. )

You'll be safer on the net, and find it less annoying.
