- Rated 1 out of 5by MuntedMunkeh, 13 days agoEven when turned OFF, it still nukes site functionality. When turned OFF it prevents essential site pop ups like the repost options on twitter for eg. NB: it is not the only site it cripples when turned OFF, only the most recent example that prompted me to write this and delete the extension.
There is no point having an extension I have to constantly monitor to enable and disable the entire time I am browsing just to prevent a mild annoyance. That is more of an aggravation and hindrance to what I'm doing than the actual problem it is was made to "fix."
Maybe an update that isn't over a year old might help.Developer response
posted 13 days agoI'm sorry you didn't have a nice experience with PopUpOFF. It is indeed not for everybody as it states in the description:
"Drawbacks?
- It still is in development, so there could be bugs or imperfect solutions, I’m working on it solo and there are other things in the world to do. So be gentle, I created it for myself back then, but now I’m doing it for you."
Given that twitter is a pretty popular site and you're the first one to report the issue which cannot be reproduced by me or neither browser, I give you 99.99% that it was something else that was working poorly on your setup. Also I wrote the code and "turn off" means turn off, it just doesn't work. Developer response
posted 16 days agoyou can set "turn off" mode by default and enable it only on websites where it's needed. I'm working on reducing number of issues with services like twitch, google or facebook- Rated 4 out of 5by islisis, 24 days agoI rely on this add on, however usability took a tumble when the keyboard shortcut stopped working on my environment (haven't been able to debug it). It would be fantastic if the shortcut could be customised to avoid such issues!
- Rated 1 out of 5by DrChefphd, a month agoVery weird behavior by the developer all over this page, touting good reviews that aren't real and accusing people reporting bugs as shills.

posted 3 months agothanks for the report, would be nice if you share which websites have bugs. In the meantime you can pick a "turn off" mode in popupoff on a certain website - it will remember your choice and will not create issues for you - Rated 5 out of 5by Alch, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by rckndrll, 4 months agoIn the strict mode it removed a pop-up that four other pop-up blockers failed to do. This app actually does what it is supposed to do.
