[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 934967, member: 82776"] [USER=91047]@RomanistHere[/USER] REQUEST 1 Benefits of being on this forum is getting more user feedback on your program. I have had at least three times when moderate mode with gentle blocking did not do the trick and aggressive mode removed to much. Trying smart moderate with strict blocking turned out the best choice for me. Moderate gentle blocking and Moderate strict blocking are variances in functionality like passive mode (off) and aggressive mode. I don't know whether you are familiar with data normalization to remove data redundancy, but using normalization as grouping criteria for the user interace it would be more logical to change the pop-up mode from three to four options (passive - gentle - strict - aggresive). Having four oprating modes makes more sense since it represents the sliding (increasing) scale of popup removal. The only reason to move a (sub-mode) to a harder to reach options screen is when a user would only had to change this option once (at setup/configuration). So either gentle moderate mode does not work as well as you image it to work (then leave strict mode hidden in the setup options) or make the choice (gentle-strict) easier to reach when people use it more ofthen than you thought when designimg the GUI (like me) For me it is less hassle to use strict mode now and set PopupOff in passive mode (off) for the least annoying websites [ATTACH type="full" alt="1615974461574.png"]255658[/ATTACH] [USER=80838]@Jan Willy[/USER] and [USER=85179]@SecurityNightmares[/USER] With PopupOff and some 30 (pffew) tracking domains in my Next-DNS personal blocklist (which Kees1958 most prevalent EU-US list blocked but Edge in strict mode not), I am now trailing Next-DNS (with oisd.nl blocklist) and with Edge anti-tracking (on strict), because PopupOff removes the cookie pop-up annoyances from Google services in stead of using uB0 to remove these annoying cookie confirmation popups on Google search, maps and youtube. [USER=91047]@RomanistHere[/USER] REQUEST2 Could you block the "change to Chrome browser pop-up" also (when remembering correct block the frame ogs.google.*/widget/callout where * is wildcard so google.nl and google.fr and google.de etc are also blocked) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1615974187439.png"]255657[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
