Subj. Didn’t find any options for it. In Agnitum Outpost firewall there’s a special banner-blocking module. How about it in Comodo?

Hi

AFAIK this feature is not found in CPF, and in my opinion this is not the porpouse of a firewall. Anyway, if you want to block banners why don’t you try out the adblock plus plugin for firefox? It works fine for me.

The matter is I’m using Opera.

Hi Andriy,
Welcome to forum :slight_smile:

Blocking popup is browser’s job not firewall’s. And opera does this job nicely:
tools-preferences-general-popup
i set it as “block unwanted popups” but if u wan total hassle-free, click “block all popups”.

I’m just feel confident enuf not to click on some banners like “congrats! u r 999,999 visitor of dis site” or “Comgrats! u win a green card to US”

aladinonl, actually I want to block not popups, but banners of certain sizes from certain addresses. Opera can’t do this job. Maybe you know some concrete app that does it? ???

But i make a quick search, haf tried none of 'em so i cant make a suggestion.
sorry abt dat, but hope can giv u something new to try out.

Opera’s content blocker. There’s no need to install extra software.
