I would like to know if it is possible to block these type of windows that appear when you scroll to the bottom of the web page or even when you just load them. It seems to me they are CSS. Generally they try to force you to subscribe to a newsletter or register to the website.

I use Firefox 36

  • While @Dean-meehan mentioned a standard way of getting rid of such things, I suppose by blocking you meant permanently. Therefore, I suggest a very easy approach which is an addon Nuke Anything Advanced here. It gives you two options : 1) Temporary, 2) Permanent. I prefer permanent when I know I'll come back later again to this site.

  • Thanks, but this requires one by one editing if I understand. I want to prevent loading those windows in any web page.

  • No, you don't need editing at all. All you need to is install the addon, right-click on the dialog which you want to remove, and select Remove Object. Done.

  • @Gabriel: The popup doesn't know whether its content is advertising. Did you try the solutions to see whether they work?

I do it manually using chrome.

  1. Right click the gray around the item
  2. Click inspect element
  3. A developer window opens and shows the html of the popup
  4. Right click the top line and click delete node
  5. Press F12 to get rid of the developer window

  • Thanks this could be useful in case of a malicious window that has no close button , I want to prevent the window loading.

  • Are your writing a chrome plugin or something? It would need to be done that way or injecting code into the page. It generally isn't a window but some code in the page like the rest. Unless it loads with the popup, the code to pop it up is Javascript so by disabling Javascript you could stop these. Mar 23, 2015 at 16:58
  • @DeanMeehan But disabling Javascript means disabling a lot of functionality. The trade off is way too much. :)

  • @Firelord Why exactly do you want to disable them? You could look for extentions to do this for you on the market that disdained them by injecting the Javascript into the page or setting the appropriate CSS, but each page is different so there is no full fullproof way Mar 23, 2015 at 17:10
