I recently decided to take a chance and installed the Google Toolbar. Almost invariably, any free software you find on the Internet is now bundled with spyware so as a rule I never install it. However, since it's offered by Google I assumed correctly it was the one piece of software that's still safe. Besides all the great shortcuts (including an UP button that navigates to the root folder of a page, long since overdue) it now comes with a popup blocker FOR FREE! If you need a popup (some sites require it) just hold down CTRL while clicking. It also tracks the # of blocked popups, which naturally lead to the Popups Blocked competition. So far my one day of using it has saved me from 27. Highly recommended for anyone that hates popups (I'll assume a conservative 99.5%)
