About

Popups Blocker is a lightweight 🪶, privacy-focused extension designed to clean up your browsing experience by neutralising intrusive advertisements and malicious popups. Unlike standard ad blockers that only hide banner ads, this extension uses a hybrid blocking engine to stop sophisticated annoyances like background popunders, click-jacking, and overlay ads on streaming and torrent sites.

🌟 Key Features
🛑 Advanced Popup Blocking: Automatically detects and closes popups and popunders that attempt to open behind your main browser window.

🧹 Cosmetic Filtering: Hides "Sponsored" posts, promoted tweets, and video overlay ads on popular social media and video platforms to declutter your feed.

🛡️ Malware Protection: Blocks access to known malicious domains and prevents "fake download" buttons often found on file-sharing sites.

🚧 Redirect Prevention: Stops websites from hijacking your navigation or redirecting you to spam pages using Declarative Net Request rules.

🔄 Daily Rule Updates: The extension automatically updates its filtering rules every 24 hours to stay ahead of new ad-delivery techniques.

Optimized scripts are included for top websites to ensure a seamless experience, including:
🎬 Video & Streaming,📱 Social Media, 🔍 Search Engines, 📰 News & Information, 🛒 Commerce
📂 File Sharing: Specialized protection for major torrent and direct download sites to prevent click-jacking and fake VPN buttons.

🔒 Privacy & Permissions
We take your privacy seriously. This extension operates strictly on your local device and adheres to Manifest V3 standards.

💾 storage: Used to save your preference settings and the latest ad-blocking rules locally.

🌐 declarativeNetRequest: The primary API used to block network requests (ads/trackers) anonymously without reading your browsing data.

💻 scripting: Used to apply cosmetic filters (CSS/JS) to specific pages to hide ad placeholders and "Sponsored" labels.

⏰ alarms: Used to schedule the automatic background update of blocking rules once every 24 hours.

🤝 Transparency Note
This extension interacts with our secure server (popupsblocker.org) solely to fetch the latest definitions and blocking rules. No personal browsing history or user data is ever sent to our servers.
