Filter Tab

Here you can define what popup window is:

When new window appears, if one of its sizes less than Popup Window Width and Height defined here, it will be considered as a popup and prevented.

Black List

When  new window appears, and it does not match Popup Window Definition by size, it still can be prevented if the window matches one of the entries in the Black List.

You can build your Black List by adding window titles directly, or using the standard pattern symbols (*, ?)

Examples:

   What's New on Netscape - known window title to be considered as popup ad.

  *Advert* - Black List pattern. Any window containing Advert in its title will be considered as popup window.

If you clear checkbox at the left side of pattern or title, you move this entry to the White List, i.e. it will not be prevented

Log Tab

You can see log of killed popups:

You can Save log, Clear or Refresh it by  right-clicking it and executing related command from the context menu.
