Popup Blocker (strict) is a highly efficient add-on for Edge designed to prevent unnecessary interruptions by blocking all popup requests from websites. It offers user-friendly control, allowing users to either accept or deny a popup request. The extension further enhances user experience by showing multiple unique requests combined. It also includes a badge number to show repeated requests to the same URL. The add-on utilizes blocking methods such as window.open, a->target=_blank, and iframe -> submit.

used to be great 6 months a go i noticed in BlueSky and some other sites the addon itself created popup notification, to open or not to open a new tab with a link is hovered disabling the add on, there's no popups to begin with very strange behavior, i never thought it was the addon at 1st (this is the 5th month now) but i disabled all addons and enabled them 1 by one...
