.NET Brain Droppings

I'm a Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA)... Feel free to ask me about the program...

Who has the most Google blocks?

Dan Fernandez asks “how many pop-ups have you blocked” with your toolbar based popup stopper?  Well, since I use Firefox (as should everyone), I can't tell you because it doesn't keep track, but my wife has blocked 956 popups with her google toolbar!  I'm not sure how longs it's been since she installed it, but my guess would be 3 months.

Just think of how many free trips/free money/free porn offers she's missed out on!  ;)

There's a Mozilla plug-in that will count your blocked popups so you can play too. I use Mozilla too, but haven't installed the plug-in either. :)

I think I've got all but maybe a few people in the world beat. My current blocked pop-up count is 66,144.

No joke. I'm on the internet way too much.

Not only is there a Firefox <a href="http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#popupcount target="_blank">Popup Counter</a> Extension, but there's a handy <a href="http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#googlebar" target="_blank">>Google Toolbar</a> Extension, that almost exactly mimics the official IE version.

Oh, and to properly give credit, there's an <a href="http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#rssreaderpanel">RSS Reader Panel</a> Extension, that I used to find this site. :)

Well I feel stupid. :)
The same post, non-fudged:

I also forgot to mention that I have only blocked 80-something popups with this version. :)
