Jestah Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Long Island, NY Insane since: Jun 2000	posted 08-03-2004 04:25 What do you mean by Google interface? I don't think you're going to find too much freeware Popup Blockers that don't add on an additional toolbar. Google's is hardly noticable. There's also a Yahoo toolbar which I imagine works simlar to Yahoo's. I believe AOL's software now comes with one as well. Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera have already been mentioned. Safari is a great browser also but you probably aren't on a Mac.
