Block New Tab Links

Prevent links from forcing new tabs to open. Keep browsing in your current tab.

Block Popunders

Stop sneaky scripts that try to open tabs behind your current window.

Three Protection Modes

Block All for maximum protection, Smart Mode allows your clicks, or Allow All when needed.

Site-Specific Rules

Smart Mode

Don't want to block everything? Smart Mode intelligently distinguishes between:
